If the variance in the weights of one sample of 12 oz. cookies is 3 oz. and the variance in a second sample, made in another factory, is only 1 oz. is there a real difference in variances between the two? (Estimate at 95% probability level, using 2-tail test). Use the appropriate test statistic to determine this, and assume there are 9 degrees of freedom for each sample. Yes no maybe none of the above.
