148. The table below shows raw data on air pollutant levels (micrograms
of particulate per liter of air) sampled at four different randomly
chosen times of day on three different freeways. State the most
reasonable hypotheses. What test would a statistician probably use?
How many total degrees of freedom? How many degrees of freedom
for the treatment(s)? How many error degrees of freedom? Explain.
Do not do the F-test.

treatment(s)? How many error degrees of freedom? Explain. Do not
