The melting points of two alloys used in formulating solder were investigated by melting 21 samples of alloy 1 and 16 samples of alloy 2. The sample mean and standard deviation for alloy 1 was x1 = 420.48 s1 = 2.34 and for alloy 2 they were overline x2 = 425 and s2 = 2.5 .Do the sample data support a claim that both alloys have the same variance of melting point? Use alpha = 0.05
