Based on the below, test whether the NYSE stocks have larger market values than the NASDAQ stocks at the 5% significance level? Can I ask for the explanation to be conducted on Excel (using Excel data analysis if applicable). Thanks.

F-Test Two-Sample for Variances

NYSE Market Cap

Mean: 12,091.945

Variance: 619,088,537.819

Observations: 56

df: 55

F: 45.617

P(f<=f) one-tail (p-value): 0

F Critical one tail: 1.626

NASDAQ Market Cap

Mean: 2,568.587

Variance: 13,571,445.312

Observations: 44

df: 53

Since the p-value of 0.0000 < 0.05 , we reject the null hypothesis and the result is statistically significant. Thus there is enough sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of market cap for the stocks listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ are not equal.
