You may assume normal distributions and equal variances.Conduct your test at the alpha= 0.10 level of significance.Be sure to state a critical F-statistic,a decision rule,and a conclusion. A) H<sub>0</sub><sub> </sub>: µ<sub>1</sub> = µ<sub>2</sub> = µ<sub>3</sub> H<sub>A</sub>: Not all populations have the same mean F = MSB/MSW = 1,474,542,579/87,813,791 = 16.79 Because the F test statistic = 16.79 > F<sub>α</sub> = 2.3778,we do reject the null hypothesis based on these sample data. B) H<sub>0</sub><sub> </sub>: µ<sub>1</sub> = µ<sub>2</sub> = µ<sub>3</sub> H<sub>A </sub>: Not all populations have the same mean F = MSB/MSW = 87,813,791 /1,474,542,579= 0.060 Because the F test statistic = 0.060 < F<sub>α</sub> = 2.3778,we do not reject the null hypothesis based on these sample data.

You may assume normal distributions and equal variances.Conduct your test at the alpha= 0.10 level of significance.Be sure to state a critical F-statistic,a decision rule,and a conclusion.
