Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a right-tailed test, the alternative hypothesis is that the parameter of interest is greater than the null value. Therefore, in this case, the alternative hypothesis is that the population variance ratio is greater than a certain value, and we are testing whether there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the ratio being less than or equal to that value.
