a. Give the null and alternative hypotheses to be tested.
b. An SPSS analysis-of-variance printout for the test you stated in part a is shown above. The sample means for the 3 groups appear at the bottom of the printout.
Why is it insufficient to make a decision about the null hypothesis based solely on these sample means?
c. Locate the test statistic and p-value on the printout. Use this information to make the appropriate conclusion at α = .10.
