Short Answer

Determine the Appropriate Hypothesis Test to Perform
-If $\mathrm { s } _ { 1 } = 5.07 , \mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 31 , \mathrm {~s} _ { 2 } = 4.93$ , and $\mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 25$ , test whether the population standard deviations differ at the $\alpha = 0.10$ level of significance. Assume the populations are normally distributed.
