A developmental psychologist is examining problem solving ability for grade school children. Random samples of 5 year old, 6 year old and 7 year old children are obtained with n = 3 in each sample. Each child is given a standardized problem- solving task, and the psychologist rcords the number of errors. The data are as follows: 5 year old 6 year old 7 year old 5 6 0 4 4 2 6 2 1 Use these data to test whether there are any significant differences among the three age groups. Use a = .05.

A developmental psychologist is examining problem solving ability for grade school
children. Random samples of 5 year old, 6 year old and 7 year old children are
obtained with n = 3 in each sample. Each child is given a standardized problem-
solving task, and the psychologist rcords the number of errors. The data are as
follows:

5 year old 6 year old 7 year old
5 6 0
4 4 2
6 2 1

Use these data to test whether there are any significant differences among the three
age groups. Use a = .05.

The F Distribution*
*Table entries in lightface type are critical values for the 05 level of significance.
Boldface type values are for the .01 level of significance.
