An investor wants to compare the risks associated with two
different stocks. One way to measure the risk of a given stock is
to measure the variation in the stock’s daily price changes.
In an effort to test the claim that the variance in the daily stock
price changes for stock 1 is different from the variance in the
daily stock price changes for stock 2, the investor obtains a
random sample of 21 daily price changes for stock 1 and 21
daily price changes for stock 2.
The summary statistics associated with these samples are: n1 =
21, s1 = .848, n2 = 21, s2 = .529.
