TABLE 11-5
A hotel chain has identically sized resorts in 5 locations. The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly selected days in the 5 locations.
-Referring to Table 11-5, the null hypothesis for Levene's test for homogeneity of variances is
A) H₀: μA = μB = μC = μD
B) H₀: MA = MB = MC = MD
D) H₀: πA = πB = πC = πD

Levene's test for homogeneity of variances tests the null hypothesis that the variances of the populations from which the samples are drawn are equal. Therefore, the null hypothesis is that the variances of the hotel occupancies in the 5 locations are equal, which is represented by choice C.
