Suppose a researcher is interested in determining whether, on average, driving times on the major traffic routes are approximately the same. The following data is randomly collected from three major traffic routes. The entries in the table are driving times in minutes on these routes.
Route 1 Route 2 Route 3
45 39 41
42 40 40
46 39 41
43 40 42

A One-Way ANOVA test was conducted at a 0.02 level of significance. The results are shown below. Note that some values in the table might be in scientific notation. For example, 1.65E-07 means 1.65x10^-7 or 0.000000165.
