A researcher wants to determine the effect that smoking has on resting heart rate. She
randomly selects seven individuals from three categories: (1) nonsmokers, (2) light smokers
(fewer than 10 cigarettes per day), and (3) heavy smokers (10 or more cigarettes per day)
and obtains the following heart rate data (beats per minute):
a. Check the equal variance condition. You may assume the other conditions are met.
b. Fill in the rest of the ANOVA table below. You may use technology, or find the missing
values based on those that are given and the above information:
Can we say at least one of the population means is different from the others?
