Question

An auto rental firm is using identical motors that are adjusted 
to run at a fixed speed to test different brands of gasoline. Each 
brand of gasoline is assigned to exactly of the motors. Each 
motor runs on gallons of gasoline until it is out of fuel.
The following represents the total mileages obtained by the 
different motors:
Gas 1: 220 251 226 246 260
Gas 2: 244 235 232 242 225
Gas 3: 252 272 250 238 256
a) Calculate the sum of squared deviation within and between each 
of type of gasoline used, for their mileages obtained.

b) Estimate the degrees of freedom within and between mileage at 
each type of gasoline used.

c) Test the hypothesis that the average mileage obtained is not 
affected by the type of gas used. Use the level of significance.
