It is thought that exercising early in the morning will provide better energy throughout the day. To test this idea, participants are recruited and randomly assigned to one of three groups: Members of Group 1 will constitute the control group and not be assigned any walking.
Members of Group 2 will walk from 7:00 to 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, over the course of 30 days. Members of Group 3 will walk from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, over the course of 30 days. At the conclusion of the study, each participant will answer the 10 questions on the Acme End-of-the-Day Energy Scale.
This instrument produces a score between 1 and 100 (1 = Extremely low energy . . . 100 = Extremely high energy).

a. Write the hypotheses.

b. Run each criterion of the pretest checklist (normality, homogeneity of variance, and n) and discuss your findings
c. Run the ANOVA test and document your findings (ns, means, and Sig. [p value], hypotheses resolution).
