A sample of birth weights of 26 girls was taken. Below are the results (in g):
| 3626.7 | 3205.1 | 4060.9 | 3640.7 | 4205 |
| 2767.6 | 2997 | 2824 | 3207.1 | 2908.6 |
| 3006.8 | 3099 | 3443.9 | 3457.5 | 3990 |
| 2937 | 3021.7 | 2961.4 | 3316.8 | 3811.2 |
| 3067.7 | 3369.2 | 3732.4 | 3552.2 | 3676.9 |
| 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.
