  2. Your friend Esmeralda helped you with the null and alternativehypotheses...
    H0: μ1=μ2=μ3H0: μ1=μ2=μ3
    H1:H1: At least one of the mean is different from theothers.
  3. The test-statistic for this data = (Please show your answer to3 decimal places.)

  4. The p-value for this sample =  (Please show youranswer to 4 decimal places.)

  5. The p-value is Select an answer greater than alpha less than(or equal to) alpha  αα

  6. Base on this, we should Select an answer reject the nullhypothesis fail to reject the null hypothesis accept the nullhypothesis  hypothesis
