Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference in the average ratings between the four online streaming services platforms Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max. All are the same.
Alternate Hypothesis (H1): There is a significant difference in the average ratings between at least one pair of the four online streaming services platforms Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max. Any one of them is different.
According to the ANOVA – Table 1, the P value is 1.23, which is more than the significance level (0.05). This indicates that we would accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis.
Conclusion
As we accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis we can state that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that all the online streaming services platforms have the same average rating. Therefore, all are the same.
