Which test should I use for comparing the change of two samples
Is this homework? We don't do homework on this list. You may also do better posting your question on stats.stackexchange.com or other statistical list, as this appears to be a statistics not an R question. Cheers, -- Bert

Dear All,
I have two samples as the following:
conjps<-c(9.41,10.45,10.78,10.73,11.11,11.12,11.59,11.04,11.63)
ms<-c(4.11,5.10,5.70,6.46,6.04,6.16, 6.24,6.32,7.33)
I want to test the change of sample is same to the another one.
conjps_ch<-c(1.04,0.33.....)
ms<-c(0.99,0.60,0.76....)
which test I should use, which conclusion can we drive based on the test?
I used the following test:
?Test Equality
of Two Variances
F
test to compare two variances
data:
conjps and ms
F = 0.5419, num df = 8,
denom df = 8,
p-value = 0.4045
alternative hypothesis: true ratio of
variances is not equal to 1
95 percent confidence interval:
0.1222368 2.4024170
sample estimates:
ratio of variances
0.5419076
is it correct? which conclusion can I get based on this?
Thanks for help.
Kind regards,
Tammy
