Statistical test used to assess whether the variance differs across a number of groups. This test is sometimes used to justify the assumption of homogeneity of variance when using ANOVA or $t$-tests.

Can a Levene's test be conducted with only summary statistics?

I don't think that's really possible. Levene's test is a $t$-test (ANOVA for >2 groups) of the absolute values of the deviations of the data from the mean (median for the Brown-Forsythe variant). Th …

Levene's test is just a $t$-test of the absolute values of the deviations of the data from their group means. (If you have more than 2 groups, you use the ANOVA; you can also use Brown-Forsythe vers …

A-priori, I find it highly implausible that the variances would be exactly equal (meaning that the null hypothesis should not be rejected, even with very high $n$ as you have here). As a result, I do …
