What type of decoy should 0 you purchase for hunting waterfowl? A study in the DECOY Journal of Wildlife Management (July 1995) compared the effectiveness of three different decoy types-taxidermy-mounted decoys, plastic shell decoys, and full-bodied plastic decoys-in attracting Canada geese to sunken pit blinds. In order to account for an extraneous source of variation, three pit blinds were used as blocks in the experiment. Thus, a randomized block design with three treatments (decoy types) and three blocks (pit blinds) was employed. The response variable was the percentage of a goose flock to approach within 46 meters of the pit blind on a given day. The data are given in the table.* A Minitab printout of the analysis follows. Locate the p-value for treatments on the printout and interpret the result.
