A researcher wants to understand the effects of different flooring materials on the perceived distraction caused by echoing sounds of conversation, measured on a scale from 1 (minimal sound) to 7 (very distracting). He samples 100 participants and randomly assigns them to four unique, equally-sized groups: 1) a wood floor, 2) a concrete floor, 3) a carpeted floor, and 4) a floor with a plush rug. Each participant is asked to complete a moderately difficult arithmetic task while recorded conversation is played in the room. The data from this experiment are presented below. Complete the ANOVA Summary Table and make a decision regarding the null hypothesis, using an a = 0.01.
