A sunscreen company is attempting to improve upon their formula so that it lasts in water longer. They have 4 lead scientists who each came up with a different formulas. In order to see if there is a difference in the time the sunscreen lasts the CEO collects a random sample of each of the four sunscreens the data is shown below. Test the claim that at least one sunscreen has a different lifespan in water at a 0.10 level of significance.

A sunscreen company is attempting to improve upon their formula so that it lasts in water longer. They have 4 lead scientists who each came up with a different formulas. In order to see if there is a difference in the time the sunscreen lasts the CEO collects a random sample of each of the four sunscreens the data is shown below. Test the claim that at least one sunscreen has a different lifespan in water at a 0.10 level of significance.

Sunscreen A Sunscreen B Sunscreen C Sunscreen D
66 68 57 73
73 55 65 53
48 45 44 77
52 38 42 62
40 72 62 69
65 32 66 48

The hypotheses for this ANOVA test would be:

 H0:μA=μB=μC=μDH0:μA=μB=μC=μD 

HA:HA: At least one mean is different. (claim)

 

α=0.10α=0.10 

 

Complete the ANOVA table below: (round answers to 3 decimal places)

  SS df MS F p-value
Between          
Within      

The decision of the test is to:

  • do not reject H0H0
  • reject H0H0

The final conclusion is:

 

  • There is enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one sunscreen lasts a different amount of time.
  • There is not enough evidence to support the claim that at least one sunscreen lasts a different amount of time.
  • There is enough evidence to support the claim that at least one sunscreen lasts a different amount of time.
  • There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that at least one sunscreen lasts a different amount of time.
Expert Solution
Step 1

State the hypotheses:

 H0ABC

HA: At least one mean is different. (claim)

The level of significance is 0.05.

Procedure to obtain One-Way ANOVA using the EXCEL:

  • Go to Data -> Data Analysis.
  • Select “Anova: Single Factor” from Analysis Tool.
  • Select the columns “Sunscreen A”, “Sunscreen B”, “Sunscreen C” and “Sunscreen D” in Input range and click Ok.

Output:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

From the output the F-ratio is 0.891.

P-value:

From the output, the P-value is 0.463.
