Question
Three different brands of automobile batteries, each one having a 42-month warranty, were included in a study of battery lifetime. A random sample of batteries of each brand was selected and lifetime (in months) was determined, resulting in the following data.
Brand 1 45 39 52 47 45 41 43
Brand 2 39 44 50 53 48 47 40
Brand 3 50 47 43 48 56 44 48
 
State and test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05.
State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. (Let ?1, ?2, and ?3 be the true mean lifetimes for the three brands.)
H0 : all three of the ?i's are different
Ha : ?1 = ?2 = ?3H0 : ?1 = ?2 = ?3
Ha : all three of the ?i's are different    H0 : ?1 = ?2 = ?3
Ha : at least two of the three ?i's are differentH0 : ?1 ≠ ?2 ≠ ?3
Ha : at least two of the three ?i's are the sameH0 : at least two of the three ?i's are different
Ha : ?1 = ?2 = ?3
