Question

Words were displayed on a computer screen with background colors of red and blue. Results from scores on a test of word recall are given below. Use a

0.05

significance level to test the claim that the samples are from populations with the same standard deviation. Assume that both samples are independent simple random samples from populations having normal distributions. Does the background color appear to have an effect on the variation of word recall scores?

	n	x	s
Red Background	34	15.69	5.96
Blue Background	36	12.32	5.45

F=1.20

Use technology to identify the P-value:

The P-value is: (round to 3 decimals)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
