F-Test Testing of Hypothesis

The document describes the steps to perform hypothesis testing using F-tests for different scenarios: 1. It outlines the 5 steps to perform a two-tailed test: set hypotheses, define rejection region, calculate test statistic, check significance level, find and compare critical value. 2. It then describes the same 5 steps for one-tailed tests, where the rejection region and critical value lookup depends on whether it is a right-tailed or left-tailed test. 3. Several examples are provided showing the full calculations and solutions for hypothesis tests comparing variances of populations based on sample data.
