Suppose a hypertension trial is mounted and 18 participants are randomly assigned to one of the comparison treatments. Each participant takes the assigned medication and their systolic blood pressure (SBP) is recorded after 6 months on the assigned treatment. The data are presented in the table below. Compute the totals for each column (1pt).
Group 1 Standard Treatment : 124 111 133 125 128 115 = 736
Group 2 Placebo: 134 143 148 142 150 160 = 877
Group 3 New Treatment: 114 117 121 124 122 128 = 726
Is there a difference in mean SBP among treatments at a 5% significance level?
