Multiple Choice

SCENARIO 10-2
A realtor wants to compare the mean sales-to-appraisal ratios of residential properties sold in four neighborhoods (A, B, C, and D) .Four properties are randomly selected from each neighborhood and the ratios recorded for each, as shown below. $\mathrm{A}: 1.2,1.1,0.9,0.4$$\quad C: 1.0,1.5,1.1,1.3$
B: $2.5,2.1,1.9,1.6$$\quad \mathrm{D}: 0.8,1.3,1.1,0.7$
Interpret the results of the analysis summarized in the following table:
$\begin{array}{lcclcc}\hline \text { Source } & \text { df } & \text { SS } & \text { MS } & \text { F } & \text { PR }>\text { F } \\\hline \text { Neighborhoods } & & 3.1819 & 1.0606 & 10.76 & 0.001 \\\text { Error } & 12 & & & & \\\text { Total } & & 4.3644 & & &\end{array}$
-Referring to SCENARIO 10-2, the null hypothesis for Levene's test for homogeneity of variances is

• A)\(H _ { 0 } : \mu _ { A } = \mu _ { B } = \mu _ { C } = \mu _ { D }\)
• B)\(H _ { 0 } : M _ { A } = M _ { B } = M _ { C } = M _ { D }\)
• C)\(H _ { 0 } : \sigma _ { A } ^ { 2 } = \sigma _ { B } ^ { 2 } = \sigma _ { C } ^ { 2 } = \sigma _ { D } ^ { 2 }\)
• D)\(H _ { 0 } : \pi _ { A } = \pi _ { B } = \pi _ { C } = \pi _ { D }\)
