Question

When performing a hypothesis test for the ratio of two population variances, the upper critical F value is denoted FR. The lower critical F value, FL, can be found as follows: interchange the degrees of freedom, and then take the reciprocal of the resulting F value found in Table A-5. FR can be denoted Fα/2 and FL can be denoted F1-α/2.
Find the critical values FL and FR for a two-tailed hypothesis test based on the following values: n1 = 25, n2 = 16, α = 0.10
