A particular process puts a coating on a piece of glass so that it is sensitive to touch. Randomly throughout the day, pieces of glass are selected from the production line and the resistance is measured at 12 different locations on the glass. On each of three different days, December 6, December 7, and December 22, the following data give the means of the 12 measurements on each of 11 pieces of glass:

(a) Use these data to test whether the means on all three days are equal.
(b) Use box-and-whisker diagrams to confirm your answer.

December 6: 175.05 177.44 181.94 176.51 182.12 164.34 163.20 168.12 171.26 171.92 167.87 December 7: 175.93 176.62 171.39 173.90 178.34 172.90 174.67 174.27 177.16 184.13 167.21 December 22: 167.27 161.48 161.86 173.83 170.75 172.90 173.27 170.82 170.93 173.89 177.68
