Thread: finding a critical region

Let X1,X2,....X19 be a random sample of size n=19 from the normal distribution N(mu,sigma^2). How do you find a critical region, C, of size alpha=0.05 for testing H0: sigma^2=30 against H1: sigma^2=80? Thankyou

Since 80>30, the critical region is on the right.
With this becomes .
You have 19 degrees of freedom IF you know and use
otherwise you have 18 degrees of freedom IF you use .
