Confidence in the next stage catching defects seems a bit optimistic; I wonder if that really promotes effective testing or just creates complacency.

I remember a practice question about the importance of believing that programmers make mistakes, but I feel like that's more about mindset than effectiveness.

Okay, the question says one of the ANOVA assumptions has been violated. Based on the box plot, it looks like the interquartile ranges are different across the ad campaigns, so I'm guessing it's the constant variance assumption.
