The monthly, seasonally-adjusted Consumer Price Index for four sectors—Energy, Apparel, Education, and Food and Beverages—was recorded from 2014 to 2018. MegaStat was used to perform a two-factor ANOVA, with α = .05. Study the output from that analysis and answer the following questions. a. Calculate the decision rules, including the critical F values, for each main effect and the interaction. b. Is there a significant interaction? Explain your reasoning using the decision rule from part (a) and the MegaStat output. c. Are any main effects significant? Explain your reasoning using the decision rules from part (a) and the MegaStat output. d. If there are significant main effects, what do the Tukey comparison tests tell you about the source of the significance? Interpret the analysis by stating specifically the source of any significance to find
