A biologist is interested in compare the mean growth of 4 species of a shrub in the Upper Michigan climates. She selects a random sample of 40 seeds from each of the 4 species and grow them under similar conditions to reduce confounding. After three months she measures the growth and conducts an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test to compare the mean growth. Suppose she set up the null hypotheses as
H0:μ1=μ2=μ3=μ4
and her computed FF-test statistic is F=3.24
- What are the two degrees of freedom of the ANOVA?
df1= df2= - Use FF-distribution to find the pp-value of the given test-statistic.
p= - Which of the following describes how the FF-test statistic is computed?
A. It is the the ratio of the variation among samples over the variation within samples.
B. It is the the sum of the variation among samples and the variation within samples.

A random sample of 40 seeds from each of the 4 species considered.
The two degrees of freedom of the ANOVA.
The treatment degrees of freedom is,
Thus, the treatment degrees of freedom is 3.
The error degrees of freedom is,
Thus, the error degrees of freedom is 155.

- A researcher wants to test the effectiveness of a new drug to treat asthma. One hundred patients with chronic, stable asthma were randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive a placebo (0mg), 1mg of drug, or 5 mg of drug. After treatment, a doctor tested the patient’s forced expiratory volume for 1 second (FEV1). Which statistical test would be best to determine if there is a significant difference between groups?arrow_forwardPlease answer all the questions.arrow_forwardThe burning rates of two types of propellants used in aircrew escape systems are being studied. It is known that the two types of propellants have different SD of burning rates. Two samples of n₁ :20 and n₂ 35 specimens are tested, and sample mean burning rates are ₁ 19.05 cm/s and ₂ = 25.37 cm/s, sample SD's are $₁ = 3.81 cm/s and s2 = 3.97 cm/s. Test the hypothesis that these two types of propellants have the same mean burning rate at level a = 0.05. =arrow_forward
- A therapist would like to evaluate an intervention for treating depression. A sample of n = 20 depressed clients is obtained, and each person’s level of depression is measured using a standardized questionnaire before they begin the therapy program. Two weeks after therapy, each client’s level of depression is measured again. The average level of depression dropped by 4.0 points following therapy. The difference scores had a variance of 64. Identify and Cclculate the appropriate test statistic.Make sure to report the degrees of freedom for the statistical test (if appropriate). You must show your work to receive full credit. State your conclusions (use a two-tailed test with a = .05 for all tests). Compute an effect size.arrow_forwardWhen creating a two sided CI for the difference of two means, assuming that the variance of the two populations - from which the samples are obtained - are equal will (keeping everything else constant) make no difference create a wider CI create a narrower CI O increase the significance levelarrow_forwardTardigrades, or water bears, are a type of micro-animal famous for their resilience. In examining the effects of radiation on organisms, an expert claimed that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades no longer has a mean of 1150 Gy (grays). (For comparison, humans cannot withstand more than 10 Gy.) A random sample of 25 tardigrade colonies found that the amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony had a sample mean of 1133 Gy, with a sample standard deviation of 02 Gy. Assume that the population of amounts of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades is appraximately normally distributed. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.05 level af significance, to support that H, the mean amount of gamma radiation needed to sterilize a colony of tardigrades, is not equal to 1150 Cy.

- The data in table is from a randomized block design represent blood pressure measurements from an experiment involving 4 age groups, each with 3 persons. The 3 persons within each age group were randomly assigned to drugs, A, B and C with one person per drug. This was done to keep the drug assignments balanced within age groups. Comparing the three drugs in manner that provides balance for or control for possible age effects. Consider the data given in table below and compute; a. Mean Square Due to Treatments (MSTR) b.

Process 1 has a mean defined as μ₁ and process 2 has a mean defined as µ₂. The null and alternative hypotheses are H₂: μ₁ −μ₂ ≤0 and H₁ : µ₁ − µ₂ > 0. The process variances are unknown but assumed to be equal.

- A sample of 9 days over the past six months showed that that Philip Sherman, DDS, treated the following numbers of patients: 22, 25, 20, 18, 15, 22, 24, 19, and 26. If the number of patients seen per day is normally distributed, would an analysis of these sample data reject the hypothesis that the variance in the number of patients seen per day is equal to 10? Use a = 0.10 level of significance. Use Table 3 from Appendix B. State the hypotheses. Ho: 0² = H₂: 0² 10 Calculate the variance and test statistic.

The owner has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to see if using a new menu will have any effect on the variance, o“. To do so, you survey a random sample of 19 customers who ordered from the new menu. For the customers surveyed, the variance of ratings is 44.3. Under the assumption that the customer ratings using the new menu follow a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test. Find x, the value of the test statistic for your chi-square test. Round your answer to three or more decimal places.arrow_forwardAn electronic company's records show that the mean number of circuit.boards rejected per batch is 5.7 with a variance of 1.4. Due to a change in the molding process, factory management has hired you to perform a hypothesis test to check if the variance, o, has increased. To do so, you test a random sample of 10 batches produced using the new process; the number of circuit boards rejected per batch has a sample variance of 2.5. Under the assumption that the number of circuit boards rejected per batch using the new process follows a normal distribution, you will perform a chi-square test.
