TABLE 10-20
A hotel chain has identically sized resorts in five locations. The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly selected days in the five locations.

-Referring to Table 10-20, the null hypothesis for Levene's test for homogeneity of variances is
A) H₀: μA = μB = μC = μD.
B) H₀: MA = MB = MC = MD.
C) H₀: σA² = σB² = σC² = σD².
D) H₀: πA = πB = πC = πD.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Levene's test for homogeneity of variances tests the null hypothesis that the variances in each group are equal. Therefore, the correct null hypothesis for Levene's test in this case is H₀: σA² = σB² = σC² = σD².
