The following data are from a completely randomized design.

Treatment
A B C
162 142 126
142 156 122
165 124 138
145 142 140
148 136 150
174 152 128

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Compute the sum of squares between the treatments.

Answer to Problem 1E

The sum of squares between the treatments is 1,488.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The data represents the completely randomized design for three treatments A, B and C.

The value of x¯¯ is,

x¯¯=156+142+1343=144

The sum of squares between the treatments is,

SSTR=j=1knj(x¯jx¯¯)2=6(156144)2+6(142144)2+6(134144)2=1,488

Thus, the sum of squares between the treatments is 1,488.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Compute the mean square between the treatments.

Answer to Problem 1E

The mean square between the treatments is 744.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The mean square between the treatments is,

MSTR=SSTRk1=148831=14882=744

Thus, the mean square between the treatments is 744.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Compute the sum of squares due to error.

Answer to Problem 1E

The sum of squares due to error is 2,030.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The sum of squares due to error is,

SSE=j=1k(nj1)(sj)2

Substitute the values s12=164.4,s22=131.2 s32=110.4.

SSE=j=1k(nj1)(sj)2=5(164.4)+5(131.2)+5(110.4)=2,030

Thus, the sum of squares due to error is 2,030.

d.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Compute the mean square due to error.

Answer to Problem 1E

The mean square due to error is 135.3.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The mean square due to error is,

MSE=SSEnTk=2,030(123)=135.3

Thus, the mean square due to error is 135.3.

e.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Develop ANOVA table for the problem.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

From parts (a), (b), (c) and (d) the values required for the ANOVA table are,

SSTR=1,488,SSE=2,030,SST=3,518,df(treatments)=2,df(error)=15df(total)=17,MSTR=744,MSE=135.3.

The F-ratio is obtained as,

F=MSTRMSE=744135.3=5.50

Thus, the ANOVA table is,

SourcedfSSMSF
Treatments21,4887445.50
Error152,030135.3 
Total173,518  

f.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Check whether there is a significant difference between the treatment means at α=0.05 level of significance.

Answer to Problem 1E

There is no evidence that the means for the three treatments are equal.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

State the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ1=μ2=μ3

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: Not all the population means are equal.

Critical value:

The critical value is obtained from the F table with 2 degrees of freedom for the numerator and 15 for the denominator.

Step by step procedure to obtain F-value using Table 4 of Appendix B is given below:

  • Locate the value 2 and α=0.05 in the right column of the Table 4 of Appendix B.
  • Go through the row corresponding to the value 2 and column corresponding to the value 15 of the Table 4.
  • Locate the value corresponding to (2, 15).

The required critical value for the F-distribution with level of significance 0.05, df1=2 and df2=15 is 3.68.

Rejection rule:

If F3.68, reject the null hypothesis H0.

Conclusion:

Here, the F-test statistic is 5.50.

The test statistic is greater than the critical value.

Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.

Thus, there is no enough evidence that the means for the three treatments are equal.
