In order to compare the durability of four different brands of golf balls (ALPHA, BEST, CENTURY, and DIVOT), the National Golf Association randomly selects five balls of each brand and places each ball into a machine that exerts the force produced by a 250-yard drive. The number of simulated drives needed to crack or chip each ball is recorded. The results are given in the table. Let μALPHA, μBEST, μCENTURY, and μDIVOT represent treatment means for ALPHA, BEST, CENTURY, and DIVOT, respectively. ALPHA BEST CENTURY DIVOT 281 270 218 364 220 334 244 302 274 307 225 325 242 290 273 337 251 331 249 355 Download or transcribe the data in the table to Minitab and conduct an Analysis of Variance (α = .05). First, create a box plot of the data for initial assessment, then run the Minitab ANOVA, answering the following questions. Step 4 of 4: Referring to the One-way ANOVA table for Golf Balls, based on the p-value:
