Question

Two yarns have variance of strength as $V_1$ and $V_2$. If $V_1 < V_2$, the variance ratio 'F' would be

The correct answer is
$\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Variance Ratio Calculation

The variance ratio, often denoted by 'F', is used to compare the variances of two samples or populations. In statistical practice, it is typically calculated by dividing the larger variance by the smaller variance.

We are given:

  • Variance of the first yarn: $V_1$
  • Variance of the second yarn: $V_2$
  • The condition: $V_1 < V_2$

The formula for the variance ratio 'F' is:

$ F = \frac{\text{Larger Variance}}{\text{Smaller Variance}} $

Based on the given condition $V_1 < V_2$, we know that $V_2$ is the larger variance and $V_1$ is the smaller variance.

Substituting these into the formula:

$ F = \frac{V_2}{V_1} $

Thus, the variance ratio 'F' is $\frac{V_2}{V_1}$.
