Question 281268: In a bumper test, three types of autos were deliberately crashed into a barrier at 5 mph, and the resulting damage (in dollars) was estimated. Five test vehicles of each type were crashed, with the results shown below. Research question: Are the mean crash damages the same for these three vehicles? Crash1

---------------------------
Ho: the means are all equal
Ha: at least one of the means is different
-----------------
I ran an ANOVA test against the three lists of data
and go the following results:
test statistic : F = 4.3638
p-value : 0.0377
-------------------------
Conclusion: Fail to reject Ho if alpha is 5% but reject Ho if alpha=1%.
-------------------------
Further testing could reveal which mean(s) is higher or lower if you
reject Ho.
