A grassroots group opposed to a proposed increase in the gas tax claimed that the increase would hurt working-class people the most, since they commute the farthest to work. Suppose that the group randomly surveyed individuals and asked them their daily one-way commuting mileage. The results are as follows.
| working-class | professional (middle incomes) | professional (wealthy) |
17.8 | ||
| 19.5 | 15.4 | 15.4 |
51.2 | 13.9 | 9.3 |
Determine whether or not the variance in mileage driven is statistically the same among the working class and professional (middle income) groups. Use a 5% significance level.
What is the Mean Square Error?
At the significance level, is there a difference in the mean jump heights among the teams?
A researcher wants to know if the mean times (in minutes) that people watch their favorite news station are the same. Suppose that Table 13.24 shows the results of a study.

A video game developer is testing a new game on three different groups. Each group represents a different target market for the game. The developer collects scores from a random sample from each group. The results are shown in the Table.
At the significance level, are the scores among the different groups different?
