Two coworkers commute from the same building. They are interested in whether or not there is any variation in the time it takes them to drive to work. They each record their times for commutes. The first worker’s times have a variance of . These coworkers' times have a variance of . The first worker thinks that he is more consistent with his commute times. Test the claim at the % level. Assume that commute times are normally distributed. What is n?

Four sports teams took a random sample of players regarding their GPAs for the last year. The results are shown in Table 13.8
| Basketball | Baseball | Hockey | Lacrosse |
| 3.6 | 2.1 | 4.0 | 2.0 |
| 2.9 | 2.6 | 2.0 | 3.6 |
| 2.5 | 3.9 | 2.6 | 3.9 |
| 3.3 | 3.1 | 3.2 | 2.7 |
| 3.8 | 3.4 | 3.2 | 2.5 |
Use a significance level of , and determine if there is a difference in GPA among the teams .
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?
