Similarity: Values of mean, mode and median are same.

Difference: Values of variances and standard deviation are different.

Ho: There is no difference between population mean.

H1: There is difference between population mean.

z statistic is equal to -0.607687. P value is 0.54339 which is greater than 0.05 (value of
level of significance). Thus, null hypothesis cannot be rejected. There is no difference
between population means.

Hypotheses are formulated to test the euality of population variances.

Ho: Population variances are equal.

H1: Population variances are not equal.

level of significance). Thus, null hypothesis has been rejected. There is
significant difference between population variances.

test gives same results. Then there is
need for new training program.
