Question

Where are the deer? Random samples of square-kilometer plots were taken in different ecological locations of a national park. The deer counts per square kilometer were recorded and are shown in the following table.

Mountain Brush	Sagebrush Grassland	Pinon Juniper
30	20	5
25	59	10
25	16	2
24	19	4

Shall we reject or accept the claim that there is no difference in the mean number of deer per square kilometer in these different ecological locations? Use a 5% level of significance.

(a) What is the level of significance?

State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H_o: ?₁ = ?₂ = ?₃; H₁: Exactly two means are equal.H_o: ?₁ = ?₂ = ?₃; H₁: At least two means are equal. H_o: ?₁ = ?₂ = ?₃; H₁: All three means are different.H_o: ?₁ = ?₂ = ?₃; H₁: Not all the means are equal.

(b) Find SS_TOT, SS_BET, and SS_W and check that SS_TOT = SS_BET + SS_W. (Use 3 decimal places.)

SS_TOT	=
SS_BET	=
SS_W	=

Find d.f._BET, d.f._W, MS_BET, and MS_W. (Use 2 decimal places for MS_BET, and MS_W.)

df_BET	=
df_W	=
MS_BET	=
MS_W	=

Find the value of the sample F statistic. (Use 3 decimal places.)

What are the degrees of freedom?
(numerator)
(denominator)

(c) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic.

P-value > 0.1000.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.0500.010 < P-value < 0.0250.001 < P-value < 0.010P-value < 0.001

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance at ? = 0.05, we do not reject H₀.Since the P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance at ? = 0.05, we reject H₀. Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance at ? = 0.05, we reject H₀.Since the P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance at ? = 0.05, we do not reject H₀.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 5% level of significance there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the means are not all equal.At the 5% level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the means are not all equal. At the 5% level of significance there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the means are all equal.At the 5% level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the means are all equal.

(f) Make a summary table for your ANOVA test.
