Use α = 0.05 to test whether the mean percentage of 17- to 24-year-olds who are attending college is the same for the four geographic regions.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: μN = μM = μS = μW
Ha: μNμMμSμWH0: Not all the population means are equal.
Ha: μN = μM = μS = μW    H0: At least two of the population means are equal.
Ha: At least two of the population means are different.H0: μNμMμSμW
Ha: μN = μM = μS = μWH0: μN = μM = μS = μW
Ha: Not all the population means are equal.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =

State your conclusion.

Reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 17- to 24-year-olds who are attending college is not the same for the four geographic regions.

Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of 17- to 24-year-olds who are attending college is not the same for the four geographic regions.
