Multiple Choice

TABLE 11-8
A hotel chain has identically sized resorts in 5 locations. The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly selected days in the 5 locations.
$\begin{array}{cccccc}\text { ROW } & \text { Caymen } & \text { Pennkamp } & \text { California}& \text { Mayaquez}& \text { Maui } \\1 & 28 & 40 & 21 & 37 & 22 \\2 & 33 & 35 & 21 & 47 & 19 \\3 & 41 & 33 & 27 & 45 & 25\end{array}$
$$\begin{array}{l}\text { Analysis of Variance }\\\begin{array} { l r c c c c } \hline \text { Source } & \mathrm { df } & \text { SS } & \text { MS } & F & p \\\text { Location } & 4 & 963.6 & & 11.47 & 0.001 \\\text { Error } & 10 & 210.0 & & & \\ \text { Total } & & & & & \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Referring to Table 11-8, what should be the decision for the Levene's test for homogeneity of variances at a 5% level of significance?

• A) Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is larger than the level of significance.
• B) Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is larger than the level of significance.
• C) Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is smaller than the level of significance.
• D) Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is smaller than the level of significance.
