An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of 3 varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants 15 fields, 5 with each variety. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. Treating this as a completely randomized design, the results are presented in the table that follows.

1 11.11 9.0 14.6

2 13.5 18.0 15.7

3 15.3 19.8 16.8

4 14.6 19.6 16.7

5 9.8 16.6 15.2

True or False: The test is valid only if the population of crop yields has the same variance for the 3 varieties.
