Using the data that was collected, the researcher found the following:The sum of squares between groups is equal to 78.86.The sum of squares within groups is equal to 354.51.what is the obtained test statistic? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places (i.e., 10.01, not 10, not 10.1, not 10.001).
