Thread: Statistics

I have been having problems with this assignment. I cannot figure out which hypothesis testing to use to complete it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

In a bumper test, three types of autos were deliberately crashed into a barrier at 5 mph, and the resulting damage (in dollars) was estimated. Five test vehicles of each type were crashed, with the results shown below. Research question: Are the mean crash damages the same for these three vehicles?

Crash Damage ($)
Goliath Varmint Weasel
1,600 1,290 1,090
760 1,400 2,100
880 1,390 1,830
1,950 1,850 1,250
1,220 950 1,920

Please help! Any help at all would be appreciated!

You are probably expected to use Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
