Samples of pages were randomly selected from three different

Samples of pages were randomly selected from three different novels. the flesch reading ease scores were obtained from each page, calculator reults from analysis of variance are given below. use a .05 significance level to test the claim that the three books have the same mean Flesch Reading Ease score.

F=2.1313015097
p=0.1347325028
df=2
ss=309.733076
ms=154.866538

ms=154.866538
df=33
ss=2397.87554
ms=72.6628953
sxp=8.52425336

What is the conclusion for this hypothesis test?
A. reject h0 there is insufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that three books have the same mean flesch reading score
b. fail to reject h0 there is insufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that three books have the same mean flesch reading score
c. fail to reject h0 there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that three books have the same mean flesch reading score
d. reject h0 there is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that three books have the same mean flesch reading score

Solution

F value = 2.13130

df =2, 33

p value = 0.1348

As p > 0.01, accept null hypothesis.

b. fail to reject h0 there is insufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that three books have the same mean flesch reading score
