F-test of equality of variances

In statistics, an F-test of equality of variances is a test for the null hypothesis that two normal populations have the same variance. Notionally, any F-test can be regarded as a comparison of two variances, but the specific case being discussed in this article is that of two populations, where the test statistic used is the ratio of two sample variances. This particular situation is of importance in mathematical statistics since it provides a basic exemplar case in which the F-distribution can be derived. For application in applied statistics, there is concern that the test is so sensitive to the assumption of normality that it would be inadvisable to use it as a routine test for the equality of variances. In other words, this is a case where "approximate normality" (which in similar contexts would often be justified using the central limit theorem), is not good enough to make the test procedure approximately valid to an acceptable degree.

Mean and Variance of Normal Distribution

Calculus/Probability: We calculate the mean and variance for normal distributions. We also verify the probability density function property using the assumption that the improper integral of exp(-x^2) over the real line equals sqrt(pi).

Levene’s Test of Homogeneity of Variance in SPSS (11-3)

One important assumption about the Independent-Samples t Test is that the variances in the sample groups are approximately equal. We assume that the samples have “homogeneity of variance.” Levene’s Test for Equality of Variances is a test of whether the variances of the two samples/groups
