24. Museum Attendance A metropolitan children’s museum open year-round wants to see if the variance in daily attendance differs between the summer and winter months. Random samples of 30 days each were selected and showed that in the winter months, the sample mean daily attendance was 300 with a standard deviation of 52, and the sample mean daily attendance for the summer months was 280 with a standard deviation of 65. At α = 0.05, can we conclude a difference in variances?
