Hypothesis Test

It is assumed that the life of the bulbs is normally distributed test the null hypothesis that the samples were obtained from populations with equal variance, considering $\alpha = 10$ %, considering the following information:
$n_1 = 10$ $n_2=8$
$S_1 = 200$ $S_2=62500$

You need to test that there is no difference in mean bulb life between the 2 populations

$H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2$

$H_a: \mu_1 \neq \mu_2$

Now use a t-test for difference in means.

Are you firmiliar with this test?

You are testing the variances for equality so you should use the variance ratio or F-test.
