Essay

Perform the indicated one-way ANOVA test. Be sure to do the following: identify the claim and state the null and

or to fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume that each
population is normally distributed and that the population variances are equal.
-Four different types of fertilizers are used on raspberry plants. The number of raspberries on each randomly
selected plant is given below. Test the claim that the type of fertilizer makes no difference in the mean number
of raspberries per plant. Use $$\alpha = 0.01$$ 5 $$\begin{array} { c c c c } \hline \text { Fertilizer 1 } & \text { Fertilizer 2 } & \text { Fertilizer 3 } & \text { Fertilizer 4 } \\\hline 6 & 5 & 6 & 3 \\5 & 8 & 3 & 5 \\7 & 5 & 4 & 3 \\6 & 5 & 2 & 4 \\7 & 5 & 3 & 4 \\6 & 6 & 3 & 5 \\\hline\end{array}$$ 3
