I would just like to know if ANOVA would be the correct test to use for the following problem below?
Fancy Fish, a fine dining upscale restaurant in Northridge, California and 2016 Open Table Diners’ Choice award winner, is enjoying its eighteenth season of providing delectable food, exceptional service, and beautiful outdoor dining experiences. “Saturday - Half-off Bottled Wine Night” has made Fancy Fish one of the San Fernando Valley’s favorite restaurants. Every Saturday night, guests can enjoy half-off every bottle of wine on the wine list while dining in the restaurant or on the terrace. The owner began offering “Saturday - Half-off Bottled Wine Night” in 2010 as an incentive for guests to dine at Fancy Fish when the economy was in a recession. Now that the economy is booming, the owner is considering whether the promotion should be continued, or even expanded. One concern is the effect that the promotion is having on the overall revenue generated from sales to the participants.
A random sample of 28 checks was collected over the course of one month of Saturday nights. Fourteen checks were from customers participating in the half-off promotion, and the other 14 checks were from customers not participating. The total revenue from each check (less alcohol, tax, and tip) is presented below. Do these data present sufficient evidence that the checks of participants is significantly different from checks of non-participants? What is your recommendation to the owner regarding the status of the promotion?

Required:
(c) The president of West Laboratory was informed that the financial statements would be available "as soon as the adjusting entries are made." Being a non-accountant, the president feels adjustments should not be necessary if the accounting department is operating in a competent manner. Does the need for adjusting entries at the end of the period imply that transactions are not being recorded properly? Why adjusting entries are needed? Explain.

Rock Solid Bank and Trust (RSB&T) offers only checking
accounts. Customers can write checks and use a network of automated
teller machines. RSB&T earns revenue by investing the money
deposited; currently, it averages 5.90 percent annually on its
investments of those deposits. To compete with larger banks,
RSB&T pays depositors 0.50 percent on all deposits. A recent
study classified the bank’s annual operating costs into four
activities.

Identifying and Analyzing Financial Statement Effects of
Share-Based Compensation
Weaver Industries implements a new share-based compensation plan in
2014. Under the plan, the company's CEO and CFO each will receive
non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000, no par shares. The
options vest ratably (1/3 of the options each year) over three
years, expire in 10 years, and have an exercise (strike) price of
$27 per share. Weaver uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate a
fair-value per option of $18.
(a) Use the financial statement effects template to record the
compensation expense related to these options for each year 2014
through 2016.
Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.

(b) In 2017, the company's stock price is $24. If you were the
Weaver Industries CEO, would you exercise your options?
Explain.
Because the stock price is per share, the Weaver CEO should exercise the options because she can immediately sell them for that amount.
Because the stock price is per share, the Weaver CEO can immediately recognize a gain of $3 per share by exercising the options.
Because the stock price is per share, no gain or loss would be recognized if the Weaver CEO exercises her options and immediately sold her shares.
Because the stock price is per share, the options are under-water (out of the money) and the Weaver CEO should not exercise the options.
(c) In 2019, the company's stock price is $46 and the CEO exercises
all of her options. Use the financial statement effects template to
record the exercise.
