Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A) We compare homework hours for male and female high schools students.

B) We compare job status (have a job: yes, no) for male and female high school students.

C) We compare hours working at a job for high school student athletes in three sports (basketball, track and soccer.)

D) We compare television viewing hours for high school students with and without a curfew.

Answer:

C) We compare hours working at a job for high school student athletes in three sports (basketball, track and soccer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ANOVA F-test is a type of analysis of variance used in systems that wish to compare the average of three, or more, different groups. With that, we can affirm that the letter B is the correct option, since it is the only option that presents the comparison between three groups.

The ANOVA F-test is used to compare the average between the three groups and determine if there is a statistical equality between them, or if some of them are above or below the average, showing that the groups are not statistically similar.
