------
Ho: u1 = u2 = u3
Ha: at least one of the means is different
----
I ran an ANOVA Test and got the following:
test stat: F = 10.1138
p-value: 0.0032
----
Since the p-value is less than 1%, reject Ho at the 1%
level of significance.
-------------
Conclusion: At least one of the means is different.

Note: I used a TI-84 to get my results.
