Hypothesis Tests
Hypothesis Tests:
Conduct the following two tasks:
(1) Use a one-sided upper-tail (Form C) t-test on the population mean for the data set 2
Select a reasonable value to test against.
(2) Use an F-test to test whether the two population variances are equal or not (Form A)
Data Set 1
Table: weight of 10 lemons randomly took out from the data set 1 of the project part I in unit of grams.
87 | 77 | 82 | 73 | 68 | 72 | 69 | 70 | 62 | 79 |
Sample size n1=10
Data Set 2
Table: weight of 10 oranges in unit of grams bought at the same local store.
142 | 156 | 178 | 122 | 149 | 139 | 144 | 145 | 168 | 151 |

For each test, describe in words what you are testing.
Please specify the null and alternative hypotheses and write out the type I and type II errors.
Please demonstrate both a confidence interval approach and a test statistic approach.
Please include calculations for confidence intervals and test statistics.
You may use Excel for summary calculations, show what functions you use in excel.
