A researcher believes that individuals in different occupations will show differences in their ability to be hypnotized. Six lawyers, six physicians, and six professional dancers are randomly selected for the experiment. A test of hypnotic susceptibility is administered to each. The results are shown in the next column. The higher the score, the higher the hypnotizability. Assume the data violate the assumptions required for use of the F test, but are at least of ordinal scaling. Using 0.05, what is your conclusion?
