c. Use a Type I error rate of α (alpha) = 0.05, look up your critical F-value.
d. What do you conclude regarding the null hypothesis? Would the p-value be bigger or smaller than alpha?
e. What do you conclude about your research question (use your own words, in everyday language)?
f. Conduct and interpret follow-up t-tests for this ANOVA analysis, including an overall interpretation of the results.
