77. A grassroots group opposed to a proposed increase in the gas tax claimed that the increase would hurt working-class people the most, since they commute the farthest to work. Suppose that the group randomly surveyed 24 individuals and asked them their daily one-way commuting mileage. The results are as follows (see table). Determine whether or not the variance in mileage driven is statistically the same among the groups. Use a 5% significance level.
