The accompanying data table contains chest deceleration measurements (in g, where g is the force of gravity) from samples of small, midsize, and large cars. Shown are the technology results for analysis of variance of this data table. Assume that a researcher plans to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different size categories have the same mean chest deceleration in the standard crash test. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
