If we want to test the claim that the three size categories have the same means, why don't we use three separate hypothesis tests for μ1 = μ2, μ2 = μ3, and μ1 = μ3?
A. The risk of type l error increases and becomes too high.
B. Actually, we do want to use three separate hypothesis tests.
C. The risk of type ll error increases and becomes too high.
D. A hypothesis test for comparing two means does not exist.
