A transect is an archaeological study area that is 1/5 mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance σ2 = 42.3. In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 28 transects gave a sample variance s2 = 48.3 for the number of sites per transect. Required:
Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 42.3.

There is significant evidence to conclude that carina e in New section is greater than 42.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample variance, s² = 48.3

Population variance, σ² = 42.3

Sample size, n = 28

α = 0.05

The hypothesis :

H0 : σ² = 42.3

H0 : σ² > 42.3

The test statistic, χ² : (n-1)*s²/σ²

χ² = [(28 - 1) * 48.3] / 42.3

χ² = (27 * 48.3) / 42.3

χ² = 1304.1 / 42.3

χ² = 30.829787

χ² = 30.830

The Critical value at α = 0.05 ; df = (28-1) = 27

Critical value(0.05, 27) = 27.587

Reject H0 if χ² statistic > Critical value

Since, 30.830 > 27.587 ; Reject H0 ; and conclude that variance in the new section is greater than 42.3

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
