A hypothesis test 2007-04-09
From Katrina:
I have already tried to do this problem but im having a very had time with it. Can you please help me.

Glamour Magazine sponsored a survey of 2500 prospective brides and found that 60% of them spent less than $750 on their wedding gown. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that less than 62% of brides spend less than $750 on their wedding gown. How are the results affected if it is learned that the responses were obtained from magazine readers who decided to respond to the survey through an Internet Web site?

How do you compare to see if a sample standard deviation is different than the population standard deviation? I know how to compare means, but not standard deviations.

Ms. Lisa Monnin is the budget director for the New Process Company. She would like to compare the daily travel expenses for the sales staff and the audit staff. She collected the following sample information.
