Null Hypothesis: Statistics With Computer Application

The document summarizes the results of two statistical analyses: 1) An ANOVA test comparing the means of 4 treatment groups which found a significant difference, rejecting the null hypothesis of equal means. 2) A second ANOVA test comparing the means of 3 diet plans which also found a significant difference, allowing the conclusion that weight loss differed among the diets. A post-hoc Tukey test showed which diet plan means were significantly different.

A physician who specializes in weight control has three different diets she recommends. As an experiment, she randomly selected 15 patients and then assigned 5 to each diet. After three weeks the following weight losses, in kilos, were noted. At the 0.05 significance level, can she conclude that there is a difference in the mean amount weight loss among the three diets?
