Store A: 8.8, 8.3, 9.6, 9.9 Store B: 7.0, 7.9, 5.4, 5.5 Store C: 5.0, 6.2, 4.6, 7.0 Instead of comparing the population weekly mean sales of the three local hardware stores based only on location, suppose we want to compare the mean weekly sales based on location and season of the year (winter, spring, summer, and fall). What is(are) the alternative hypothesis(es) for performing a two-way ANOVA using this information? i. Location has an effect on the weekly mean sales. ii. The season has an effect on the weekly mean sales. iii. There is an interaction effect between location and season on the mean sales.

i, ii, and iii

i and ii only

iii only
