--------------
Ho: The mean waiting times are the same for the four body shops
Ha: At least one of the means is different
---------------
ANOVA was run on the data.
The p-value of 0.001632 is less than alpha=5% so Reject Ho.
The test supports a conclusion that the average waiting times
are not all the same.
