Complete parts a and b. Click here to view the banana sales data, Click here to view a table of critical values for the studentized range. a. Perform a one-way ANOVA using a = 0.05 to determine if there is a difference in the average number of pounds of bananas sold per week in these three locations. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho H1 H2 H3 Hy: Not all us are equal. Determine the appropriate test statistic. 2.50 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Determine the p-value. P-value = 0.131 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the proper conclusion. Reject Ho. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is sold per week in these three locations difference in the average number of pounds of bananas

Answer 1

Solution

From given information

The p-value = 0.131 > 0.05 level of significance so we accept the null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

Accept H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the average number of pounds of bananas.

Since we accepting the null hypothesis therefore no need perform multiple comparison test to determine which pairs are different.
