Question
Suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test to compare several population means, using independent samples. In each case, decide whether you would use the one-way ANOVA test, the Kruskal–Wallis test, or neither of these tests.
Preliminary data analyses of the samples suggest that the distributions of the variable are not normal and have quite different shapes.

- Please help me with this question.arrow_forwardA union of restaurant and foodservice workers would like to estimate this year's mean hourly wage, u, of foodservice workers in the U.S. Last year's mean hourly wage was $8.25, and there is reason to believe that this year's value is less than last year's. The union decides to do a statistical test to see if the value has indeed decreased. The union chooses a random sample of this year's wages, computes the mean of the sample to be $7.98, and computes the standard deviation of the sample to be $1.25. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? |Ho: u is ? H: u is ? v|? ? In the context of this test, what is a Type I error? v the hypothesis that u is ? A Type I error is ? fact, u is ? v when, in Suppose that the union decides not to reject the null hypothesis.

Treat these data as though they were from two independent random samples. Test the hypothesis that the mean days surfed for all longboarders is larger than the mean days surfed for all shortboarders (because longboards can go out in many different surfing conditions). Use a level of significance of 0.05.

- Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.arrow_forwardA large company that produces allergy medications claims that Americans lose an average of 40 hours of work to problems related to seasonal allergies. A consumer advocacy group believes that company's claim exhibits self-interest bias. In other words, the advocacy group believes that the actual mean number of missed hours is less than claimed. The advocacy group would like to obtain statistical evidence about this issue and takes a random sample of 100 American workers. They find that these 100 people lost and average of 38 hours due to seasonal allergy symptoms. The standard deviation is 9.5 hours.
