Explanation / Answer

H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 all the means are the same

H1: Two or more means are different from the others

Here, we are trying to test whether the means of the three groups are the same or are different. This is a case of one way ANOVA.

Now as we are given here the level of significance of 0.05, and the p-value here is 0.025 < 0.05, therefore the test is significant and we can reject the null hypothesis here and conclude that there are at least two of the means which are not the same.

Therefore the test is significant and all the means are not the same here.
