Question

A data set from a study that examined the effect of a specific diet on blood pressure is below. Participants (= 72) were randomly assigned either to a group that was put on the diet (Diet = Present) or to a group that was not put on the diet (Diet = Absent), and researchers wanted to know whether the diet had a significant impact on blood pressure.

Evaluate the homogeneity of variance assumption for the test and report the results (i.e., is the assumption reasonable for this analysis/data set?).
