Assuming the normality of populations under consideration, at the 5% significance level,
do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists between the times required by three workers to perform an assembly-line task?
2)240 students were asked to taste three types of cola in a random order and were not told their identity. The contingency table below shows the counts of preferred colas classified by the subject specialism of students.

Use These data to investigate the association, if any, between a student's subject specialism and preferred cola-type. Interpret any association which exists, testing at more than one significance level.

Assuming the normality of populations under consideration, at the 5% significance level,
---
Ho: The means are all equal
H1: At least one of the means is different
I ran an ANOVA test on the data and got the following results:
---
test statistic: F= 1.2653...
p-value = 0.3172
---
Conclusion: Since the p-value is greater than 5%, do not reject Ho.
At the 5% significance level the means are equal.

---
Ho: The row and column factors are independent
H1: They are not independent
---
I ran a Chi-Sq test on the data and got the following:
test stat: Chi-Sq = 32.39..
p-value = 0.00000159...
---
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 1% reject Ho at the 1% significance
level. The row and column factors are not independent.
