Question

A study compared three groups of college students (soccer athletes, nonsoccer athletes, and a comparison group consisting of students who did not participate in intercollegiate sports) to see if the high incidence of head injuries among soccer players might affect memory recall. The following is information on scores from the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (which measures immediate memory recall).

Group	Soccer Athletes	Nonsoccer Athletes	Comparison Group
Sample size	85	96	51
Sample mean score	29.70	30.94	29.32
Sample standard deviation	3.71	5.18	3.77

In addition,  = 30.13.Suppose that it is reasonable to regard these three samples as random samples from the three student populations of interest. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean Hopkins score is not the same for the three student populations? Use α = 0.05.

A.)

Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

F = ???

P-value= ???
