Mary did an analysis of acute care variances in samples of occupancy rates at two community hospitals and obtained the following results: F-test for equality of variance
$\begin{aligned}
108.243 & \text { variance: group } 1 \
98.371 & \text { variance: group } 2 \
1.100 & \text { F } \
0.905 & \text { p-value }
\end{aligned}$ Can Mary conclude that the variances are unequal at ? = .05?
A)No, there isn't enough evidence to believe the variances are unequal.
B)Yes, the analysis shows that the variances are unequal.
C)You can't tell without knowing the sample sizes.

The p-value of 0.905 is much higher than the significance level of 0.05, indicating that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of equal variances.
