The hypotheses for the test are:
Null Hypothesis (H₀): There is no significant difference in the average ratings of Pani puri ,Pav Bhaji, Sev Puri, Vada pav
Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): There is a significant difference in the average ratings of at least one pair of Pani puri ,Pav Bhaji, Sev Puri, Vada pav
F-value: 1.8052 P-value: 0.1517, F critical value: 2.703
If the P-value is less than the significance level (commonly 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and accept alternate hypothesis and if P-value is more than the significance level (commonly 0.05), we reject the alternate hypothesis and accept null hypothesis.
Conclusion:
Since the P-value is 0.1517 , which is more than the 0.05 significance level, we Reject the Alternative Hypothesis (H₁). indicating that there is no significant difference in the average ratings of Pani puri ,Pav Bhaji, Sev Puri, Vada pav
