A medical researcher wishes to try three different techniques to lower the weight of obese patients. The subjects are randomly selected and assigned to one of three groups. Group 1 is given​ medication, Group 2 is given an exercise ​program, and Group 3 is assigned a diet program. At the end of six​ weeks, the reduction in each​ subject’s weight​ (in pounds) is recorded.Group 1Group 2Group 316, 17, 14, 20, 18, 1313, 10, 7, 8, 9 , 411, 17, 9, 13, 14, 9Analysis of Variance   SourceDFAdj SSAdj MSF-ValueP-Value   Group2184.392.16710.830.001   Error15127.78.511       Total17312.0         Tukey Pairwise Comparisons: Tukey Simultaneous Tests for Differences of Means   Difference of LevelsDifference of MeansSE of Difference95% CIT-ValueAdjusted P-Value   2 – 1-7.831.68(-12.20, -3.46)-4.650.001   3 – 1-4.171.68(-8.54, 0.20)-2.470.063   3 – 23.671.68(-0.70, 8.04)2.180.108   Individual confidence level = 97.97%      Tukey Simultaneous 95% CIsReport the individual error rate for Tuckey’s multiple comparisons
