Using Durkheim€™s theory of anomie (normlessness) as a basis, a sociologist obtained the following suicide rates (the number of suicides per 100,000 population) rounded to the nearest whole number, for five high-anomie, five moderate-anomie, and five low-anomie metropolitan areas (anomie was indicated by the extent to which newcomers and transients were present in the population):

Test the null hypothesis that high-, moderate-, and low-anomie areas do not differ with respect to suicide rates.
