1. Ho: The variance-covariance matrices of the two groups are not significantly different.
Ha: The variance-covariance matrices of the two groups are significantly different.
SAS Output:
p-value: 0.5684
Decision: Since p-value = 0.5684 > α = 0.05, we fail to reject Ho.
Conclusion: At 5% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to say that the
variance-covariance matrices of the two groups are not significantly different.
Assuming equal prior probabilities, the linear discriminant function will be used.

Misclassification Rate = 20 = 0.3
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if Fc > F0.05(4, 15); Otherwise, fail to reject Ho.
