TABLE 10-20
A hotel chain has identically sized resorts in five locations. The data that follow resulted from analyzing the hotel occupancies on randomly selected days in the five locations.

-Referring to Table 10-20, if a level of significance of 0.05 is chosen, the decision made indicates that at least two of the five locations have different mean occupancy rates.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the data in Table 10-20, the p-value for the ANOVA test is less than 0.05. This means that we can reject the null hypothesis that all five locations have equal mean occupancy rates and conclude that at least two of the locations have different mean occupancy rates. Therefore, the decision made in the statement is true.
