Full question attached. I need help to determine the null and alterative hypotheses and when to reject the null. Also I need to know if there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that women in the different categories have different mean blood pressure levels?
==================
Analysis of variance One-way ANOVA

Systolic Blood Pressure in Different Age Groups: A random sample of 40 women is partitioned into three categories with ages of below 20, 20 through 40, and over 40. (The systolic blood pressure levels listed below). The analysis of variance results from Minitab are below in the table.

Error 37 10484 283
Total 39 11422

Assume that all variables are normally distributed, that the samples are independent, and that the population variances are equal. At alpha = 0.05

a. State the hypotheses:

Ho :

H1 :

b. State when you would reject the null:

c. Find the test value of the test statistic: The test statistic in the Minitab output is F. F= 1.65

d. Find the p-value: The p-value as labeled in the output is 0.205

e. Make a decision and interpret the decision within the context of the problem (Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that women in the different categories have different mean blood pressure levels?)
