State	1989	1999
Arizona	523	525
Connecticut	498	509
Alabama	539	555
Indiana	487	498
Kansas	561	576
Oregon	509	525
Nebraska	560	571
New York	496	502
Virginia	507	499

Assuming that the samples come from a normal distribution:

(a) Test that the mean SAT score for math in 1999 is greater than that in 1989 at α = 0.05. Assume the variances are equal.

(b) Test for the equality of the variances at α = 0.05.
