Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
We can use the F-test to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference among the means of the five treatments. The test statistic is given by:
F = (SSTR / k-1) / (SSE / n-k)
where k is the number of treatments and n is the total number of observations.
Using the given information, we have:
k = 5
n = 65
SSTR = 300
SSE = SST - SSTR = 800 - 300 = 500
Plugging in these values, we get:
F = (300 / 4) / (500 / 60) = 9.04
Looking up the F-distribution with 4 and 60 degrees of freedom (numerator and denominator, respectively), we find the p-value to be very small (less than 0.01). Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a significant difference among the means of the five treatments.
