True/False

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.
Trial Barth Tornado Reiser Shaw
1 43 37 41 43
2 46 38 45 45
3 43 39 42 46
-Referring to Table 11-3, 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.
