A medical researcher wants to test whether the mean cholesterol levels are the same for 3 treatment groups of subjects (with 18 total randomly selected subjects): those who take a new medication, those who follow a diet, and those who make no changes to medication or diet. They plan to use a 5% level of significance for their decision. Below is a partial Analysis of Variance table. Use it to answer the following questions deg of freedom Sum of Squares Mean Square F statistic Treatment Group 3.121 1.5607 Error 1.517 0.1011 Total 17 What are the degrees of freedom for the treatment groups? What are the degrees of freedom for the error? What is the F-statistic for this data (3 decimal places)
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
