A study measures the sorption (either absorption or adsorption) rate of three different types of organic chemical solvents. These solvents are used to clean industrial fabricated-metal parts and are potential hazardous waste. Independent samples of solvents from each type were tested and their sorption rates were recorded as a mole percentage. [See McClave, Dietrich, and Sincich (1997)].Is there a significant difference in the mean sorption rate for the three solvents? Use a P-value for your conclusions. Which solvent would youuse?
