Task: Application Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for data analysis.
I. One-way ANOVA.
For three different functions, the following information was recorded for in water discharge (Table 1).
Test at 0.05 level of significance whether the difference among the means is significant or not.

Data collection:
Table 1. Flow discharge at three hydrology stations.

Null Hypothesis-H0: The mean do not differ significantly. αi = 0 for i ∈ {1, 2, 3}

Alternative Hypothesis-H1: αi ≠0 for at least one value of i.
Level of Significance: α = 5%
