6. Click OK.

Result:

Important: be sure that the variance of Variable 1 is higher than the variance of Variable 2. This is the case, 160 >
21.7. If not, swap your data. As a result, Excel calculates the correct F value, which is the ratio of Variance 1 to
Variance 2 (F = 160 / 21.7 = 7.373).

Conclusion: if F > F Critical one-tail, we reject the null hypothesis. This is the case, 7.373 > 6.256. Therefore, we
reject the null hypothesis. The variances of the two populations are unequal.
