A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats were selected with n = 12 in each sample. The first sample received the drug every day. The second sample was given the drug once a week, and the third sample received no drug at all. The dependent variable was the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data were analyzed using an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the ANOVA Table below. Fill in all missing values in the table. (Hint: start with the df column.)
