Homework 3

This document contains the results of two analyses of variance (ANOVA) tests. The first ANOVA tested whether the type of car rented affects the length of rental periods using data from 10 rentals of each car type. The ANOVA found a P-value of 0.358, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05, so there is no evidence that car type affects rental length. The second ANOVA output has blanks to be filled in, with a degrees of freedom of 3 and 16 for the Factor and Error terms respectively, and a P-value between 0.3-0.4.
