Question
Given this already solved problem, how could you determine whether homogeneity of variance is satisfied for this analysis, and be clear on how you decided this.

Transcribed Image Text:In Exercise 7.25, we saw data from Everitt that showed that girls receiving cognitive behavior therapy gained weight over
the course of that therapy. However, it is possible that they just gained weight because they got older. One way to control
for this is to look at the amount of weight gained by the cognitive therapy group (n = 29) in contrast with the amount
gained by girls in a Control group (n = 26), who received no therapy. The data on weight gain for the two groups is shown
below.

Run the appropriate test to compare the group means. What would
you
conclude?

Transcribed Image Text:The t statistic is,
(+),
where, X= mean of first group
mean of second group
y
and combined variance,
(ns; + n3s;)
S* =
Step 2
We have,
Ho : Hs = Hy: mean of both group are not significantly different
> H: 'H
where H, = mean of girls receiving no therapy, i.e control
Hy = mean of girls receiving cognitive therapy
Step 3
From given,
I = -0. 45 y = 3.01
sI = 7.99 2 = 7.31
NI = 26
n2 = 29
Now the combined variance,
(26 * 7.99 + 29 * 7.3
26429-2
32094395
53
= 60. 5564
Step 4
The test statistic,
60.5564
= -1. 6462
As it is a left tailed test, and n, + 12 - 2 = 26 + 29 – 2 = 53 > 30,
hence t-Z-
The calculated t=-1.6462
The tabulated Z for left-tailed at 0.05 level of significance=-1.645
As
i.e - 1.646 < -1. 645
The
is rejected, and the mean weight of girls getting cognitive therapy is greater than the
Ho
mean weight of girls from control group.

Three different methods for assembling a product were proposed by an industrial engineer. To investigate the number of units assembled correctly with each method, 36 employees were randomly selected and randomly assigned to the three proposed methods in such a way that each method was used by 12 workers. The number of units assembled correctly was recorded, and the analysis of variance procedure was applied to the resulting data set. The following results were obtained: SST = 12,620; SSTR = 4,520. (a) Set up the ANOVA table for this problem. (Round your values for MSE and F to two decimal places, and your p-value to four decimal places.)

- A teacher is interested in assessing whether or not there is the same amount of variance in the scores of a particular type of test between male and female students. She believes that the variance for girls is higher than it is for boys. After grading the test she measures the following: In her class, 15 boys had a variance of 460 and 13 girls had a variance of 1,400. Set up hypotheses to test if the teacher’s assumption that the girls’ variance of scores on the test is higher than the boys’ variance.

- Researchers at UT Austin noticed that the seagrass beds in Corpus Cristi Bay (CCB) were taller and thicker than those in Lower Laguna Madre (LLM). They compared the sediment ammonium concentration, in the two locations. Following are the summary statistics on sediment ammonium concentration, in micromoles, obtained by the researchers. Equality of variances is not assumed. CCB: X₁ 115.1, s₁= 79.4, n₁ = 51 LLM: X₂ = 24.3, S₂ 10.5, n₂: 19 = a. At the 1% significance level, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean sediment ammonium concentration in CCB exceeds that in LLM? b. Determine a 98% confidence interval for the difference μ1-µ2, between the mean sediment ammonium concentrations in CCB and LLM. Interpret your answer in (a) in words. c.
