The P-Value (0.552) of the residuals plot is greater than the alpha level of
0.05; therefore, the residuals are normally distributed.
Answers
The P-Value (0.000) for the factor effect is less than the alpha level of 0.05,
and therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.
The F-test (13.57) is much greater than 1.00, and therefore, the groups are
not similar.
