  1. Perform a One Factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using SPSS comparing the mean gestation values for the three brain_type groups at an alpha of 0.05.
  2. What is the null hypothesis for this ANOVA:
  3. Calculate the mean of each of the 3 groups:
    1. Mean of small group ______________
    2. Mean of medium group ______________
    3. Mean of large group _______________

  1. alpha: ________________
  2. F test statistic: ________________
  3. p-value: ________________
  4. Paste a screenshot of your ANOVA result from your software below

2. Based on the results:

  1. Would you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
  2. Provide your interpretation of the results of the ANOVA.
