12. Weight Gain of Athletes A researcher wishes to see whether there is any difference in the weight gains of athletes following one of three special diets. Athletes are randomly assigned to three groups and placed on the diet for 6 weeks. The weight gains (in pounds) are shown here. At a = 0.05, can the researcher conclude that there is a difference in the diets?
