Two basketball players on a school team are working hard on
Two basketball players on a school team are working hard on consistency of their performance, In particular, they are hoping to bring down the variance of their scores. The coach believes that the players are not equally consistent in their games. Over a 10-game period, the scores of these two players are shown below. Assume that the two samples are drawn independently from normally distributed populations. Use Table 4. Select the hypotheses to test whether the players differ in consistency. Calculate the value o( the test statistic. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Test statistic Calculate the critical value the 5% significance level. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Critical value Interpret the results. Reject H0. consistency does not differ between the players Do not reject H0. consistency does not differ between the players. Do not reject H0 consistency differs between the players Reject H0. consistency differs between the players.
