The Excel/Mega-Stat output given above summarizes the results of a one-way analysis of variance in an attempt to compare the performance characteristics of four brands of vacuum cleaners. The response variable is the amount of time it takes to clean a specific size room with a specific amount of dirt.

-At a significance level of 0.05,the null hypothesis for the ANOVA F test is rejected.Analysis of the Tukey's simultaneous confidence intervals shows that at the significance level (experimentwise) of 0.05 we would conclude that,in regards to average time,

• A)all four brands of vacuum cleaners differ from each other in terms of their performance.
• B)brand 1 differs from brand 2,and brand 2 differs from brand 3 while the rest of the vacuum cleaner pairs do not differ from each other in terms of their performance.
• C)brand 1 differs from brand 2,and brand 3 differs from brands 1,2 and 4,while the rest of the vacuum cleaner pairs do not differ from each other in terms of their performance.
• D)only brand 3 differs from the other three brands (brands 1,2 and 3),while the rest of the vacuum cleaner pairs do not differ from each other in terms of their performance.
• E)none of the four brands of vacuum cleaners differ from each other in terms of their performance.
