Enzyme effectiveness of hardness of the horse meat (The F-value is a continuous probability distribution that arises frequently as the null distribution of a test statistic, most notably in the analysis of variance).
p<0.001 (The p-value is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed during the test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct).
