Question: Construct the confidence interval for σ21/σ22.
Construct the confidence interval for σ21/σ22. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.
In a recent study of the cholesterol contents of grilled chicken sandwiches served at fast food restaurants, a nutritionist found that random samples of sandwiches from Restaurant A and from Restaurant B had the sample statistics shown in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for σ21/σ22, where σ21 and σ22 are the variances of the cholesterol contents of grilled chicken sandwiches from Restaurant A and Restaurant B, respectively.
