is this wrong: The ANOVA test was conducted to analyze the MAAP ELA scores across students in the third through sixth grades (see Table 1). The null hypothesis for this analysis was there was no significant difference in the MAAP ELA scores as measured by the grade level. The results showed that the mean scores for each grade were 73.4 for the third grade, 68 for the fourth grade, 55.12 for the fifth grade, and 52.41 for the sixth grade. The count of students in each grade was 10, 8, 17, and 22 respectively. The sum of scores for each grade was 734 for third grade, 544 for fourth grade, 937 for fifth grade, and 1153 for sixth grade. The degrees of freedom (Df) between groups was 3, calculated as the number of groups minus one (4-1). The Df within groups was 53, calculated as the total number of observations minus the number of groups (57-4). The total Df was 56, the sum between and within groups Df. The F statistic was 5.88676984, which measures the variance ratio between the groups to the variance within the groups. The P-value was 0.00151794, less than the significance level of 0.05. This indicates a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the four grades. The F critical value was 2.78, which is the value that the F statistic must exceed for the results to be statistically significant. We reject the null hypothesis since the F-value is greater than the critical F-value, and the P-value is less than 0.05. This suggests a significant difference in the MAAP
