The critical F value for 4 and 14 degrees of freedom at alpha = 0.05 is approximately 3.48. Since the obtained F value (3.05) is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This means there is a risk of making a Type II error, which is failing to reject a false null hypothesis.
