Discussion Question 5.2: One of the assumptions of the F test for comparing two variances is that both populations are normally distributed. This is one of the assumptions in a long line of assumptions that we have discussed in this course. In your opinion, why is validating these assumptions a matter of statistical ethics in a sense? Do you feel validating the assumptions is necessary before you use any of these statistical techniques for making decisions?

One Hypothesis test is an F test for the equality of the variances of travel Times and the second test is a T-test for the equality of the means of travel times in MINUTES.
  One Hypothesis test is an F test for the equality of the variances of travel Times and the second test is a T-test for the equality of the means of travel times in MINUTES. The F test must be performed first in order to select either Case1 or Case 2 for the T-test as listed in chapter 5. Then perform the Required T-test (either case 1 or 2 depending on your findings of the F-test). Also in the Conclusion...
