Researchers want to know whether the variation in the popula

Researchers want to know whether, the variation in the population of trap-spacing measurements, is larger than 10 m². They will conduct a test of hypothesis using = 0.05.

a.) Note that s² > 10.Consequently, a fisherman wants to reject the null hypothesis.What are the problems with using such a decision rule?

b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.

c.) Find the approximate p-value of the test.

d.) Give the appropriate conclusion.

e.) What conditions must be satisfied for the test results to be valid?

Please show step-by-step work, including formulas used. I am trying understand how to solve the problem. Please recognize that you are the expert, however I myself have not taken a math course in almost 10 years so I may not know what you know. Thanks
