An image of a nurse measuring the weight of a newborn.

A sample of birth weights of 26 girls was taken. Below are the results (in g):

3626.73205.14060.93640.74205
2767.6299728243207.12908.6
3006.830993443.93457.53990

3067.73369.23732.43552.23676.9
3018.5

(Note: The average and the standard deviation of the data are respectively 3342.5 g and 405.5 g.)

Use a 10% significance level to test the claim that the standard deviation of birthweights of girls is the same as the standard deviation of birthweights of boys, which is 480 g.
