The means and variances of the scores for the two groups are shown in the table. $$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { l | c | c | c } & n & \bar { x } & s ^ { 2 } \\\hline \text { Program 1 } & 41 & 78.5 & 201.7 \\\text { Program 2 } & 41 & 75.8 & 259.6\end{array}\\\\\text { Test to determine if the variances of the two programs differ. Use } \alpha = .05 \text {. }\end{array}$$
