This document discusses a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) used to compare the effects of different oil types (A, B, C) on car mileage. It tests the null hypothesis that the mean mileages are equal against the alternative that at least two means differ. The ANOVA calculates sums of squares and F statistics to determine if there are significant differences between the treatment means, rejecting the null hypothesis if F exceeds the critical value. If differences exist, pairwise comparisons estimate the size of differences between each pair of means using confidence intervals.
