One-Way ANOVA

Professor Brunner had students in his Marketing class rate his performance as Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor. A graduate student collected the ratings and assured the students that Professor Brunner would not receive them until after the course grades had been submitted. The rating (i.e. the treatment) a student gave the professor was matched with his/her course grade, which could range from 0 to 100. The data is as follows:

Course Grades

Is there a difference in the mean scores of the students in each of the four rating categories at a 99% confidence level?
