A national car rental agency is interested in determining whether the mean days that customers rent cars is the same between three of its major cities. The following data reflect the number of days people rented a car for a sample of people in each of three cities. Assuming that a one-way analysis of variance is to be performed, the value of the test statistic is approximately 120.

Zoey Burton · Answer 1

(B) false

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is used in One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is F-Ratio.

F-ratio is the ratio of the between-sample variance and the within-sample estimate of the variance

The f-ratio value of the given data is 3.16162. The p-value is. 0789. The result is not significant at p <.05.

Thus, test statistic is not equal to 120.

Hence, given statement is false.
