Question
Suppose a horticulturist measures the aboveground height growth rate of four different ornamental shrub species grown in a
greenhouse. The shrubs were grown from a random sample of seeds, and they were all grown in the same soil mixture and in
the same size pot. To ensure that any slight differences in the environmental conditions throughout the greenhouse are not
confounded with species, she randomizes the location of the pots throughout the greenhouse. The table contains a summary of
her data.

The growth rate distributions of each sample are approximately normal, and the data do not contain outliers. The horticulturist
uses a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of a = 0.05 to test if the mean growth rates of all four
species are equal. Her results are shown in the table.
