------------------
Ho: var1 - var2 = 0
Ha: var1 - var is not 0 (claim)
----------------------------------------
I ran an F-test on the data and got the following:
test statistic: F = 0.2988
p-value = -.0097
---
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%, reject Ho.
The test results support the claim.
