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.

King Manuel I, Komnenus ruled the Byzantine Empire from Constantinople (Istanbul) during the years to A.D. The empire was very powerful during his reign, but declined significantly afterwards. Coins minted during his era were found in Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Nine coins were from his first coinage, seven from the second, four from the third, and seven from a fourth. These spanned most of his reign. We have data on the silver content of the coins:

Did the silver content of the coins change over the course of Manuel’s reign?
Here are the means and variances of each coinage. The data are unbalanced.
