Expert Solution
Step 1

The table provides the means, standard deviations and sample sizes for electrical conductivity measurements.

Assumptions for One-Way ANOVA:

  • The treatment that taken from a population must be normal.
  • All the treatment population must have same variance, which is denoted as σ2.

Here, it is given that the conductivity varies with location.
