Drug content assessment. Refer to Exercise 8.16 (p. 467)and the Analytical Chemistry (Dec. 15, 2009) study in which scientists used high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the amount of drug in a tablet. Recall that 25 tablets were produced at each of two different, independent sites. The researchers want to determine if the two sites produced drug concentrations with different variances. A Minitab printout of the analysis follows. Locate the test statistic and p-value on the printout. Use these values and to conduct the appropriate test for the researchers.

Studies have established that rudeness in the workplace can lead to retaliatory and counterproductive behaviour. However, there has been little research on how rude behaviours influence a victim鈥檚 task performance. Such a study was conducted, and the results were published in the Academy of Management Journal (Oct. 2007). College students enrolled in a management course were randomly assigned to two experimental conditions: rudeness condition (students) and control group (students). Each student was asked to write down as many uses for a brick as possible in minutes. For those students in the rudeness condition, the facilitator displayed rudeness by generally berating students for being irresponsible and unprofessional (due to a late-arriving confederate). No comments were made about the late-arriving confederate to students in the control group. The number of different uses for brick was recorded for each student and is shown below. Conduct a statistical analysis (at ) to determine if the true mean performance level for students in the rudeness condition is lower than the actual mean performance level for students in the control group.
The data is given below
