The above annova table shows the P value which determines whether we accept or reject the null hypothesis and vice versa. The P value for the data collected and analyzed is 0.004, which is less than 0.5 meaning we accept alternate hypothesis.

Conclusion: P value is 0.000 which is less than 0.05 therefore we reject null hypothesis and accept alternate hypothesis, that concludes that any one of the Sports is different.
