Multiple Choice

Data from a randomized block design are shown in the following table. $\begin{array}{c}\quad\quad\quad\text { Treatment Levels }\\\begin{array}{l}\\\text {Block 1}\\\text {Block 2}\\\text {Block3}\end{array}\begin{array}{l}1 \\8 \\6 \\7 \end{array}\begin{array}{l}2 \\5 \\6 \\8 \end{array}\begin{array}{c}3 \\10 \\9 \\8 \end{array}\begin{array}{r}4\\7\\5\\9\end{array}\end{array}$

B) do not reject the null hypothesis $\mu$ ₁ = $\mu$ ₂= $\mu$ ₃= $\mu$ ₄
C) do not reject the null hypothesis $\mu$ ₁ $\ge$ $\mu$ ₂ $\ge$ $\mu$ ₃ $\ge$$\mu$ ₄
D) do not reject the null hypothesis $\mu$ ₁ $\le$ $\mu$ ₂ $\le$ $\mu$ ₃
E) do nothing
