Consider the following measures of the heat production capacity of two different coal mines (in millions of calories per ton): • mine 1: 8280, 8140, 8290, 8240, 8310 • mine 2: 8180, 8200, 8210, 8230, 8240, 8210. Using the appropriate test, find the respective p-value when considering the hypothesis that the variances of the distributions of the measurements of the two mines are equal. Only one of the options is the correct one: a) 0.59 b) 0.044 c) 0.026 d) 0.039 e) 0.202

Question

Consider the following measures of the heat production capacity of two different coal mines (in millions of calories per ton):
• mine 1: 8280, 8140, 8290, 8240, 8310
• mine 2: 8180, 8200, 8210, 8230, 8240, 8210.

Using the appropriate test, find the respective p-value when considering the hypothesis that the variances of the distributions of the measurements of the two mines are equal.

Only one of the options is the correct one:

a) 0.59
b) 0.044
