Test at the α = 0.05 level of significance, whether the distribution of blood type for African Americans is different across the three regions.
I(Florida) II(Iowa) III(Missouri)
A 122 1781 353
B 117 1351 269
AB 19 289 60

Test at the α = 0.05 level of significance, whether the distribution of blood type for African Americans is different across the three regions.

AB 19 289 60
O 244 3301 713
-----------------------
Ho: The means are equal
Ha: The means are not all equal
---
I ran an ANOVA on the data and got the following:
test stat: F = 5.1632
p-value = 0.0321
--------
Conclusion: Since the p-value is less than 5%,
reject Ho at the 5% level of significance.
