Explain whether homogeneity of variance is satisfied for this analysis, and be clear on how you decided this.

In Exercise 7.25, we saw data from Everitt that showed that girls receiving cognitive behavior therapy gained weight over
the course of that therapy. However, it is possible that they just gained weight because they got older. One way to control
for this is to look at the amount of weight gained by the cognitive therapy group (n = 29) in contrast with the amount
gained by girls in a Control group (n = 26), who received no therapy. The data on weight gain for the two groups is shown
below.
