A manufacturer of cereal is considering three alter native box colors—red, yellow, and blue. To check whether such a consideration has any effect on sales, 16 stores of approximately equal size are chosen. Red boxes are sent to 6 of these stores, yellow boxes to 5 others, and blue boxes to the remaining 5. After a few days a check is made on the number of sales in each store. The results (in tens of boxes) shown in the following table were obtained. Red       Yellow   Blue  43           52          61  52           37          29  59           38          38  76           64          53  61           74          79  81a. Calculate the within-groups, between-groups, and total sum of squares.b. Complete the analysis of variance table, and test the null hypothesis that the population mean sales levels are the same for all three box colors.

Question

A manufacturer of cereal is considering three alter native box colors—red, yellow, and blue. To check whether such a consideration has any effect on sales, 16 stores of approximately equal size are chosen. Red boxes are sent to 6 of these stores, yellow boxes to 5 others, and blue boxes to the remaining 5. After a few days a check is made on the number of sales in each store. The results (in tens of boxes) shown in the following table were obtained.

Red       Yellow   Blue
  43           52          61
  52           37          29
  59           38          38
  76           64          53
  61           74          79
  81

a. Calculate the within-groups, between-groups, and total sum of squares.
b. Complete the analysis of variance table, and test the null hypothesis that the population mean sales levels are the same for all three box colors.
