ANOVA P-value

 

P=0.048 20-29 and 30-39 are statistically different from 60-70

P=0.77 No difference

P=0.0002 60-70 statistically different from all other groups

P=0.09 No difference

P=0.02 20-29 and 30-39 are statistically different from 60-70 And 20-29 is statistically different from 50-59

P=0.07 No difference

P=0.03 20-29 is different from 30-39 and 60-70 40-49 is different from 30-39 and 60-70
