It appears that,, and are the cheapest stores and that,, and are the most expensive. However, it is important to realize that you can not tell just by looking at the graph, you must use a statistical test to tell. So, we look at the ANOVA.

So, we'll run the Post Hoc tests on the best price to see where these differences lie. The entries in the table with a * next to it are significantly different.
