Statistics > Confidence Intervals > 2-Population Variance
This utility computes the confidence intervals for the ratio
of two population variances (σ12 /
σ22). The confidence
intervals are calculated using the following formula:
where s1 and s2 are the sample
standard deviations of two population samples, FL
is the lower critical value (inverse F probability distribution at
α/2, where α is the significance level), and
FR
is the upper critical value (inverse F probability distribution at
1 - α/2).
Dialog Inputs
The sample data
can be inputted in one of three ways:
Samples in one column: The population labels
of samples are in one column of the Datasheet,
and the individual samples
are in another column.
Samples in two columns: The samples of the two
population are in two separate columns.
Summarized sample data: The sample size and
standard deviation/variance of each sample
are provided (instead of individual sample values).
The confidence level must be between 0 and 1. For example,
enter 0.95 for a 95% confidence level.
