Step 1

H0: The mean pressure applied to the driver’s head during a crash test is equal.

H1: There is a significant difference in at least one pair of mean pressure applied to the driver’s head
during a crash test.

Step 2

α = .05

Step 3

ANOVA (F-statistic)

Step 4

k=3 k-1= 3-1= 2

n=15 n-k= 15-3= 12

The F critical value is 3.89. Therefore, H0 is rejected if the computed F > 3.89, otherwise, H0 is not
rejected.

Step 6

Since F =81.416 is in the rejection region, H0 is rejected.

Step 7

There is a significant difference in at least one pair of mean pressure applied to the driver’s head during
a crash test.
