A juice factory buys apple concentrate from two different suppliers. The mean concentration is the same for both suppliers, but it is suspected that the variability of the concentration could be different for the two suppliers. The standard deviation of the concentration in a random sample of n1 = 12 lots produced by Supplier 1 is s1 = 6.4 g / L, and for Supplier 2, n2 = s2 = 4.8 g / L in a random sample of 12 lots. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of the two populations is different by calculating the appropriate test statistic? (α = 0.05
