Treatment 1   Treatment 2    Treatment 3
37                   43                     28
33                      39                     32
36                      35                     33
38                      38
                          40
                                           
a. Compute the overall mean.
b. At 95% confidence using the critical value and p-value approaches, test to see if there is a significant difference among the means.

Explanation / Answer

The test statistic F = 8.708; p-value is less than 0.01; reject Ho and conclude at
least one mean is different from others. (critical F = 4.26)
