A one-way analysis of variance is used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of three or more groups. The test statistic for a one-way ANOVA is F, and if the calculated value of F is greater than the critical value, then we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the means are not equal. In this case, the calculated value of F is 3.4, indicating that there is a significant difference between the mean number of days that customers rent cars in the three cities. Therefore, the statement is true.
