Assume the samples are random and independent, the populations are normally distributed, and the population variances are equal. The table available below shows the prices (in dollars) for a sample of automobile batteries. The prices are classified according to battery type. At α=0.10, is there enough evidence to conclude that at least one mean battery price is different from the others? Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

(a) Let u1, 42, H3 represent the mean prices for the group size 35, 65, and 24/24F respectively. Identify the claim and state Ho and Ha.
Ho:

(b) Find the critical value, Fo, and identify the rejection region.
The rejection region is F
V Fo, where Fo

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
