A) heterogeneity of variances
B) homogeneity of variance
C) equality of variance
D) stability of variance

Homogeneity Of Variance

The assumption that multiple groups have equal variances on a tested variable, important for certain statistical tests.

Heterogeneity Of Variances

A condition in which different groups or samples have variances that are not similar, posing challenges for certain statistical tests that assume homogeneity of variances.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The term for the assumption that the amount of variability in each of the two groups is equal is homogeneity of variance. Option B is the correct choice. Option A (heterogeneity of variances) implies the opposite of the correct term. Option C (equality of variance) has similar meaning to option B, but it is less commonly used. Option D (stability of variance) is an inaccurate term that does not reflect the assumption being made.
