Multiple Choice

A golfer would like to test the hypothesis that the variance of his golf score equals 10.0. A random sample of 28 rounds of golf had a sample standard deviation of 3.5. Using α = 0.10, the conclusion for this hypothesis test would be that because the test statistic is _______.

• A)more than the upper critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the variance for this golfer's scores is not equal to 10.0
• B)less than the lower critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the variance for this golfer's scores is not equal to 10.0
• C)between the lower and upper critical values, we reject the null hypothesis and cannot conclude that the variance for this golfer's scores is not equal to 10.0
• D)between the lower and upper critical values, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and cannot conclude that the variance for this golfer's scores is not equal to 10.0
