Two Independent samples' Standard deviations hypothesis test (2-Samp F-Test)
Samples must be from normal populations. And independent.
H0: samples from populations with same standard deviations: σ1=σ2
F distribution:
two independent samples selected from two normally distributed populations
with same population variances THEN the sampling distribution of the ratio of the sample variances
is the F distribution.
A family of curves and tables, for each α and combo of df's of numerator and denominator
where the largest variance s2 is the numerator.
F test value is always ≥ 1
