A consumer magazine wants to compare the lifetimes of ballpoint pens of three different types. The magazine takes a random sample of pens of each type in the following table.

Brand 1          Brand 2          Brand 3

260                   181                 238

218                   240                 257

184                   162                241

219                   218                213

Do the data indicate that there is a difference in a mean lifetime for the three brands of ballpoint pens? Use α = 0.01. Which pairs are significant? Present boxplots to support each conclusion.
