Please help! It would be greatly appreciated!

A sample of colored candies was obtained to determine the weights of different colors. The ANOVA table is shown below. It is known that the population distributions are approximately normal and the variances do not differ greatly. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean weight of different colored candies is the same. If the candy maker wants the different color populations to have the same mean weight, do these results suggest that the company has a problem requiring corrective action? Source: DF: MS: Test Stat, F: Critical F: P-Value: 99457 Should the null hypothesis that all the colors have the same mean weight be rejected? o A. O B. Yes, because the P-value is less than the significance level. No, because the P-value is less than the significance level. C. Yes beuse the P-value is areater than the sianificance level.
