A manufacturing company produces plastic pipes that are specified to be 25 cm long and 0.3 cm thick with an opening of 1.9 cm. These pipes are moulded on two different machines. To maintain consistency, the company periodically randomly selects pipes for testing. In one specific test, pipes were randomly sampled from each machine and the lengths were measured. A statistical test was computed using Excel in an effort to determine whether the variance for machine 1 was significantly greater than the variance for machine 2. The results are shown here. Discuss the outcome of this test along with some of the other information given in the output.
