The values in the table below are measured maximum breadths (in millimeters) of male skulls from different epochs. Changes in head shape over time suggest that interbreeding occurred with immigrant populations. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different epochs all have the same mean.

Hypothesis test:
P-value: 0.03085
The test statistic is significant and rejects H0. we conclude that the means are different from each other.
