Planetary scientists want to know if the orbital eccentricity of a small moon is constant over time. They collect eight eccentricity measurements in each of three different time periods. Complete an ANOVA F-test to test the claim that all three population means are equal.
Since the test statistic 16.69 is higher than critical value 3.47 at 0.05 level of significance ; therefore we reject null hypothesis and conclude that three population means are different,
