The attached data set is a study that was conducted to determine whether there is a difference between three types of therapy. The participants in this study were clients who agreed to participate. Participants were randomly assigned to the three therapy types, carried out by equivalently skilled therapists. The outcome score for therapy was a composite score of improvement from the client, a different therapist who was blind to the type of treatment they received, and the most significant person in their life.

You should report on statistical assumptions, report on the correct results in detail, and write up the results for your study.
