Test the claim that the samples come from populations with the same mean. Assume that the populations are normally distributed with the same variance.
-The data below represent the weight losses for people on three different exercise programs.
$\begin{array}{lll}
\text { Exercise A}&\text { Exercise B}& \text {Exercise C }\\hline
2.5 & 5.8 & 4.3 \
8.8 & 4.9 & 6.2 \
7.3 & 1.1 & 5.8 \
9.8 & 7.8 & 8.1 \
5.1 & 1.2 & 7.9
\end{array}$
At the 1% significance level, does it appear that a difference exists in the true mean weight loss produced by the three exercise programs?

The Answer is Test statistic: F = 1.491. Critical value: F = 6.93. p-value:0.264.
Fail to reject the claim of equal means. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the true mean weight loss produced by the three exercise programs.
