suggesting that the monarchs tend to live longer than presidents orpopes. This is not experimental data (but instead observational)and one could claim that the data is nearly the population.Nevertheless, we have run the ANOVA and the results look like

Using the fact that this F statistic has an F density with 2 and 69degrees of freedom under random sampling and the null hypothesis ofequal means, find the p value using Splus or MATLAB and the factthat Pr(F > y) = 1-pf(y,df1,df2) in Splus and Pr(F > y) =1-fcdf(y,df1,df2) in MATLAB, where df1 is the numerator degrees offreedom and df2 is the denominator degrees of freedom in the Fstatistic. p value =
