True/False

TABLE 11-6
As part of an evaluation program, a sporting goods retailer wanted to compare the downhill coasting speeds of 4 brands of bicycles. She took 3 of each brand and determined their maximum downhill speeds. The results are presented in miles per hour in the table below.
$$\begin{array} { c c c c c } \hline \text { Trial } & \text { Barth } & \text { Tornado } & \text { Reiser } & \text { Shaw } \\\hline 1 & 43 & 37 & 41 & 43 \\2 & 46 & 38 & 45 & 45 \\3 & 43 & 39 & 42 & 46\end{array}$$
-Referring to Table 11-6, the test is less sensitive to the assumption that the population of speeds has the same variance for the 4 brands if the sample sizes of the 4 brands are equal.
