Determining the average battery life between charges

Reference no: EM131814371

Question: A laptop computer maker uses battery packs supplied by two companies, A and B. While both brands have the same average battery life between charges (LBC), the computer maker seems to receive more complaints about shorter LBC than expected for battery packs supplied by company B. The computer maker suspects that this could be caused by higher variance in LBC for Brand B. To check that, ten new battery packs from each brand are selected, installed on the same models of laptops, and the laptops are allowed to run until the battery packs are completely discharged. The following are the observed LBCs in hours.

Test, at the 5% level of significance, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the LBCs of Brand B have a larger variance that those of Brand A.
