A study is designed to compare two drugs for relieving tension among employees in stressful jobs. A medical team collects data on levels of tension of the subjects in two treatment groups at the end of two months of treatment. The variances computed from the sample data are (S1)^2=2916 and (S2)^2=4624. There are 8 subjects in each group. At the 0.05 level of significance, do these data provide sufficient evidence to suggest that the variability in tension levels is different in the two populations represented by the samples?
