A statistician wants to test for the equality of means in two independent samples drawn from normal populations. However, he will not perform the equal-variance t-test of the difference between the population means if the condition necessary for its use is not satisfied. The data are as follows: Sample 1: 7 9 6 15 7 10 8 12 Sample 2: 2 25 9 15 10 18 5 22 27 3 Estimate with 95% confidence the ratio of the two population variances.
