1. The weights of a random sample of 121 women between the ages of 25 and 34 had a standard deviation of 28 pounds. The weights of 121 women between the ages of 55 and 64 had a standard deviation 21 pounds. Test the claim that the older women are from a population with a standard deviation less than that for women in the 25 to 34 age group. Use er women are from a population with a standard deviation less than that for women in the 25 to 34 age group. Use α = 0.05.
