True/False

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