Your ANOVA variable is Depth

Is the mean of your variable (standard length, depth, or horizontal gape) the same for all three of the Bluegill collections?

(i) State the hypotheses the ANOVA is testing. You may refer to Hogan as population #1, Malone as population #2, and Preserved as population #3. (2 pt)
