Summary Let π 1 ,…,π p be p independent normal populations with means μ 1 …, μ p and variances σ 2 1 ,…, σ 2 p respectively. Let X(n i ) be a simple random sample of size n i from π i , i = 1,…, p. Given the simple random samples X(n 1 ),…, X(n p ) from π 1 ,…,π p respectively, a test has been proposed for testing the homogeneity of variances H 0 : σ 2 1 =…σ 2 p , against the restricted alternative, H 1 : σ 2 1 ≥…≥σ 2 p , with at least one strict inequality. Some properties of the test are discussed and critical values are tabulated.
