2. Two different hardening processes, (1) saltwater quenching and (2) oil quenching, are used on samples of a particular type of metal alloy. The results are shown in the table below. Assume that hardness is normally distributed. Test whether the variances are statistically different at 90% confidence. (10 pts)
