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
35 17 2
30 53 6
20 19 2
26 19 8

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.
Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3H1: All three means are different.Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3H1: Exactly two means are equal.    Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3H1: Not all the means are equal.Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3H1: At least two means are equal.

(b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW. (Use 3 decimal places.)
SSTOT =  
SSBET =  
SSW =  

Find d.f.BET, d.f.W, MSBET, and MSW. (Use 2 decimal places for MSBET, and MSW.)
dfBET =  
dfW =  
MSBET =  
MSW =  

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

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