A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, three samples of rats are selected with in each sample. The first sample receives the drug every day. The second sample is given the drug once a week, and the third sample receives no drug at all (the control group). The dependent variables is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. These data are analyzed by an ANOVA, and the results are reported in the following summary table. Fill in all missing values in the table. (Hint: Start with the df column.)
Use the =FDIST() function in Excel to locate the p-value for this ANOVA:
p-value =
Report answer accurate to at least 4 decimal places.
