True/False

SCENARIO 10-3
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. $\begin{array}{lllll}\text { Trial}&\text { Barth}&\text { Tornado }&\text {Reiser}&\text { Shaw }\\1 & 43 & 37 & 41 & 43 \\2 & 46 & 38 & 45 & 45 \\3 & 43 & 39 & 42 & 46\end{array}$
-Referring to SCENARIO 10-3, the test is less sensitive to the assumption that the population of speeds has the same variance for the 4 brands because the sample sizes of the 4 brands are equal.
