Research carried out to investigate the relationship between smoking status of workers and short-term absenteeism rate (hr/mo) yielded the accompanying summary information (“Work-Related Consequences of Smoking Cessation,” Academy of Management Journal [1989]: 606–621). In addition, F = 2.56. Construct an ANOVA table, and then state and test the appropriate hypotheses using a .01 significance level.
