46. Researchers wanting to assess skin irritation associated with a new sunscreen developed for those with photo sensitivity. They randomly sample 240 men with a history of photo sensitivity and 240 men without a history of photo sensitivity and ask them to apply the cream and report the level of skin irritation they experience after spending 20 minutes in the sun using a scale of 0-10. The average skin irritation score for the group with history of photo sensitivity was 1.2 and the average skin irritation score for the group without a history of photo sensitivity was 1.4. The Levene's test for equality of variances had a p value of 0.04. You know this means: a. The researchers should report the t-test results NOT assuming equal variances b. The researchers should reject the null hypothesis and report there is a difference in the average skin irritation score c. The researchers should report the t-test results assuming equal variances d. The researchers should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is NOT a difference in the average skin irritation score

Step 1
Levene's test is used to test the equality of variances between two groups. If the p-value is less than the significance level (usually 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis that the variances are equal and assume that the variances are not equal. Show more…
