Answer :
Answer:
Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis and conclude all three means are not equal.
Explanation:
The given data is

12 8 10
10 8 8
10 6 6
12 8 8
10 10 10
The results of excel are:
Anova: Single Factor
SUMMARY
Groups Count Sum Average Variance
Column 1 5 54 10.8 1.2
Column 2 5 40 8 2
Column 3 5 42 8.4 2.8
1) Let the null and alternate hypotheses be
H0: u1=u2=u3 i.e all the three means are equal and
Ha: Not all three means are equal
2) The significance level is set at ∝ =0.05
3)The test statistic to use is
F= sb²/ sw²
which has F distribution with v1= k-1 →3-1=2 and v2= n-k →15-3=12 degrees of freedom
After calculations the following table is obtained.

Within Groups 24 12 2
Total 46.93 14
4) The critical region is F ≥ F(0.05, 2,12) = 3.885
5) Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis and conclude all three means are not equal.
