Ho: Mean salary = 45 Ho: Mean salary = 45
Ha: Mean salary =/= 45 Ha: Mean salary =/= 45
Note when performing a one sample test with ANOVA, the second variable (Ho) is listed as the same value for every corresponding value in the data set.
t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances
Since the Ho variable has Var = 0, variances are unequal; this test defaults to 1 sample t in this situation

I have computed the single factor ANOVA test which is shown below

My text book is confusing me on how the information is to be interpreted. I am not looking for the answer, I am simply looking for someone to explain to me how I need to go about interpreting the information because as I previously stated, my textbook confuses me. So if someone would be willing to simply explain to me how I would go about interpreting the information (NOT GIVE ME THE ANSWER) it would be a huge help.

Thank you in advance!
