An investigator is interested which among the three drugs in the market provides greater pain relief. The data below consists of the scores representing reduction in pain for each of the three drugs. The investigator wants to test whether the reduction in pain differs across treatment.   State the hypotheses. What statistical test should be used to determine if there is a difference in the pain relief between the three drugs? Determine the appropriate critical value and set up the decision rule. (α=0.05) Compute the test statistic. Interpret your results. Give your conclusion.
