In order to compare the mean charges for the three groups,the data will be subjected to an analysis of variance. The results of the ANOVA are summarized in thefollowing table. Take α = 0.01. Interpret the P-value of the ANOVA F test. Source df SS MS F Value \multicolumn 2 c Prob > F Treatments 2 3752.13 1876.065 20.73 0.0001 Error 57 5158.5 90.5 Total 59 8910.63
