A pet food company conducted an experiment to compare five different cat foods. A sample of 30 cats from the population at a local animal shelter was selected. Six cats were randomly assigned to each of the five products, Each was then presented with 3 ounces of the selected food in a dish at feeding time. The researchers defined the variable to be measured as the number of ounces of food that the cat consumed within a 10-minute time interval. The results for this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table. Complete (a) through (d) below. Click on the icon to view the results.

Reach a decision Ho- There is evidence of a difference in the mean amount of food eaten among the various products. . If appropriate, determine which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten. Let the kidney-based cat food be group 1, the shrimp-based cat food be group 2, the chicken liver-based cat food be group 3, the salmon-based cat food be group 4, and the beef-based cat food be group 5. Is there significant evidence that group 1 and group 2 differ in the mean amount of food eaten? O A. Yes O B. No O C. It is not appropriate to test which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten. Is there significant evidence that group 1 and group 3 differ in the mean amount of food eaten? O A.
