Comparison of Variances in Test Scores

A researcher studied the test scores of students in two different sections of a statistics course. The following data summarizes the scores:

Section A Scores: 85, 78, 92, 81, 87, 90

Section B Scores: 80, 82, 88, 79, 85, 95

Calculate the mean and standard deviation for each section's scores. Determine how the variance of Section A compares to the variance of Section B.
