Using the data below, perform descriptive statistics analyses (mean, standard deviation, variance) for the brothers’ test. Then, perform an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine if there is a significant difference between the brothers’ scores. Note: You may use Excel on your own or make an appointment to perform the test in SPSS

NULL HYPOTHESIS H0:
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS Ha: Not all means are equal.
alpha=0.05
Test statistic F=16.821
P value=0.000
Since P value SMALLER than the level of significance therefore SIGNIFICANT.
Decision: DO NOT REJECT H0.
Conclusion: WE HAVE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE MARKS OBTAINED BY BROTHERS ARE DIFFERENT.
