Use the following to answer the questions below:
A small university is concerned with monitoring its electricity usage in its Student Center. Specifically, its officials want to know if the amount of electricity used differs by day of the week. They collected data for nearly a year, and the relevant summary statistics are provided. Note that electricity usage is measured in kilowatt hours.
Day of Week | n | | s |
Sunday | 45 | 86.48 | 34.89 |
Monday | 45 | 109.29 | 27.37 |
Tuesday | 45 | 110.96 | 28.64 |
Wednesday | 44 | 115.03 | 31.68 |
Thursday | 44 | 114.97 | 33.26 |
Friday | 45 | 108.58 | 32.22 |
Saturday | 45 | 87.07 | 38.56 |
| 313 | 104.56 | 34.25 |
Using the results from the ANOVA analysis, at an
α = 0.05 level of confidence, what is the conclusion of the test, in context?
▸ There is very strong evidence that mean electricity usage differs significantly by day of the week (i.e., some days of the week use more electricity than others).
▸ There is not enough evidence to conclude that mean electricity usage differs significantly by day of the week (i.e., some days of the week use more electricity than others).
