Suppose the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wants to examine the safety of compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. It collects a sample of three for each of the treatments (cars types).

    1.  What kind of statistical analysis do you need to use and why?
    2.  State the null and alternative hypotheses.
    3. Check your assumptions. Include screenshots of your R output and explain why each of them are or are not met.
    4.  Using R, run your analysis and include a screenshot.
    5.  Using R, run post-hoc tests and include a screenshot.
    6.  What do you conclude about the null hypothesis?
    7.  What does each of your p-values tell you? Are there differences and in which comparisons?
    8.  Explain what your p-values are telling you regarding the safety of the cars.
