H0.
There is
sufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four different treatments yield the same mean poplar weight.
 
B.
Fail to reject
H0.
There is
insufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four different treatments yield the same mean poplar weight.
 
C.
Reject
H0.
There is
sufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four different treatments yield the same mean poplar weight.
 
D.
Reject
H0.
There is
insufficient
evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the four different treatments yield the same mean poplar weight.
Is there a treatment that appears to be most​ effective?
