) In a study of intentions to get flu-vaccine shots in an area threatened by an epidemic, 90 people were classified into three groups of 30 according to the degree of risk of getting the flu. The experimenter brought each group one at a time into a room and verbally asked each member of the group about their likelihood of getting a flu shot, on a probability scale ranging from 0 to 1. Unavoidably, most participants heard the responses of nearby participants. An analyst wishes to test whether the mean intent scores are the same for the three risk groups. Consider each assumption for the ANOVA procedure and explain whether this assumption is likely to hold in the present situation. For any assumption that is unlikely to hold, suggest a remedy if one exists.
