Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. There are two assumptions that must be true in order to perform an test of two variances.
What is the other assumption that must be true?
What is the ?
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 the F statistic?
Are the mean numbers of daily visitors to a ski resort the same for the three types of snow conditions? Suppose that Table 13.27 shows the results of a study.

Assume that all distributions are normal, the four population standard deviations are approximately the same, and the data were collected independently and randomly. Use a level of significance of .
