A recent college graduate is in the process of deciding which one of three US graduate schools he should apply to. He decides to judge the quality of the schools on the basis of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores of those who are accepted into the school. A random sample of six students in each school produced the following GMAT scores. GMAT Scores School 1 School 2 School 3 650 510 590 620 550 510 630 700 520 580 630 500 710 600 490 690 650 530 Use Tukey's method with =0.05 to determine which population means differ.
