question 45

Multiple Choice

One-way analysis of variance is being used to test the equality of four population means using a sample of size 6 from each of the four populations.The test statistic (F_stat) for the test turns out to be 3.237.The significance level is set at 5%.Report your conclusion.

• A)Since the test statistic (F_stat) is greater than the critical value (F_c) for the test, we reject the "no difference" null hypothesis.
• B)Since the test statistic (F_stat) is less than the critical value (F_c) for the test, we cannot reject the "no difference" null hypothesis.
• C)Since the test statistic (F_stat) is greater than the critical value (F_c) for the test, we cannot reject the "no difference" null hypothesis.
• D)Since the test statistic (F_stat) is less than the critical value (F_c) for the test, we reject the "no difference" null hypothesis.
