Based on previous tests, Clarrie Carter, Quality Assurance Manager, has recommended purchasing rods from Redding Rods (population 1), rather than Stockton Steel (population 2), since Redding’s rods had less variability in length. Recently, Stockton revised it rod shearing operation, and Clarrie has sampled the outputs from Redding’s and Stockton’s rod manufacturing processes. The results for Redding were s₁² = 0.10 with n₁ = 8, and, for Stockton, the results were s₂² = 0.05 with n₂ = 10. Assume that rod lengths are normally distributed in the population. Clarrie’s alternate hypothesis is __________________.

选项：
A:s₁² < s₂²

B:s₁² ≠ s₂²

C:s₁² > s₂²

D:s₁²  = s₂²

答案: 【s₁² > s₂²
】

Tamara Hill, Fund Manager with Hillcrest Value Fund, manages a portfolio of 250 common stocks. Tamara is searching for a ‘low risk’ issue to add to the portfolio, i.e. one with a price variance less than that of the S&P 500 index. Moreover, she assumes an issue is not ‘low risk’ until demonstrated otherwise. Her staff reported that during the last nine quarters the price variance for the S&P 500 index (population 1) was 25, and for the last seven quarters the price variance for XYC common (population 2) was 8. Assume that stock prices are normally distributed in the population. Using a = 0.05, the appropriate decision is _______.

选项：
A:eject the null hypothesis s₁²  ¹  s₂²

B:do not reject the null hypothesis s₁²  ¹  s₂²

C:do not reject the null hypothesis s₁²  =  s₂²

D:reject the null hypothesis s₁²  =  s₂²

答案: 【do not reject the null hypothesis s₁²  =  s₂²

Cindy Ho, Finance Manager at Red Hill Radiator Supplies (RHRS), theorises that the discount level offered to credit customers affects the average collection period on credit sales. Accordingly, she has designed an experiment to test her theory using four sales discount rates (0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) by randomly assigning five customers to each sales discount rate. An analysis of Cindy’s data produced the following ANOVA table.

Using a = 0.01, the appropriate decision is _________.

选项：
A:do not reject the null hypothesis m1 ≠ m2 ≠ m3 ≠m4

B:reject the null hypothesis m1 = m2 = m3 = m4

C:do not reject the null hypothesis m1 = m2 = m3 = m4

D:reject the null hypothesis m1 ≠ m2 ≠ m3 ≠ m4

答案: 【do not reject the null hypothesis m1 = m2 = m3 = m4
