INTERPRETATION:

From the ANVOA Table, we find that at 5% significance level, p=0.023 which is < 0.05. Therefore, we have to accept the alternate
hypothesis. This means that there is significant difference in the age group of students having different educational qualifications.

This is also evident from the Descriptives table.

INTERPRETATION:

Here, it is clearly seen that the mean age groups of students are different for each of the educational qualification backgrounds. Students having BE/BTech qualifications are older than
the other students, having a mean value of 25.18. Students having BA/BCom/BSc have a mean age of 23.50 years and finally, those with a BBA/BBM have a mean age of 22.50 years.
Though the students of the class having different educational background belong to 3 distinct groups, we have to conduct Post-Hoc analysis to check whether its really 3 groups or not.

b. The group sizes are unequal. The harmonic mean of the
group sizes is used. Type I error levels are not guaranteed.

INTERPRETATION:

Usually, we use Tukeys B for conducting Post-Hoc analysis. From the above table, two groups are formed clearly. Student having BE/BTech form one group having a mean age of 25.18
while those with BBA/BBM form another group with 22.50. Students with BA/BCom/BSc are seen in both the groups with a mean age of 23.50. It is the discretion of the researcher to
retain these students in any one of the two groups. Because the mean value of the group is 23.50 years, we can retain them in group 1.
