-----------------------------
Ho: The means are all equal
H1: At least one of the means is different.
-----------------------
I ran an ANOVA test on the 4 data sets and got the following results:
test stat: F = 2.3245,,,
p-value = 0.10567...
-----------------
Since the p-value is greater than 5%, do not reject Ho.
At the 5% significance level the means are all equal.
