To study the effect of temperature on yield in a chemical process, five batches were produced at each of three temperature levels. The results follow.

a. Construct an analysis of variance table (to 2 decimals but p-value to 4 decimals, if necessary).

b. Use a.05 level of significance to test whether the temperature level has an effect on the mean yield of the process.
Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).
The -value is - Select your answer -less than .01between .01 and .025between .025 and .05between .05 and .10greater than .10Item 12
What is your conclusion?
- Select your answer -Conclude that the mean yields for the three temperatures are not all equalDo not reject the assumption that the mean yields for the three temperatures are equalItem 13
