Problem 10

A psychologist wants to compare the variability in reaction times between two groups: those who slept 88 hours, with a sample size of 2020 and a standard deviation of 0.950.95 seconds, and those who slept 44 hours, with a sample size of 2020 and a standard deviation of 0.380.38 seconds. At the 0.050.05 significance level, test the claim that both groups have the same amount of variation in reaction times.
