Output using the Excel-MegaStat software is given below:
From the output, the values of SST is 107.20, SSE is 9.47 and SS total is 116.67.
d.
Find an ANOVA table.
d.
Explanation of Solution
From the output in Part (c), the ANOVA table is obtained.
The ANOVA table is given below:
Source of Variation | Sum of Squares | Degrees of Freedom | Mean Square | F |
Treatments | 107.2 | 2 | 53.6 | 50.96 |
Error | 9.47 | 9 | 1.05 | |
Total | 116.67 | 11 |
e.
Find the decision regarding the null hypothesis.
e.
Explanation of Solution
Conclusion:
The F value is 50.96 and the F critical value is 4.26.
Here, F value is greater than F critical value. That is, 50.96 > 4.26.
Using rejection rule, reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, there is sufficient evidence that at least one mean of all treatment is differ from others.
f.
Check whether there is significant difference between treatment 1 and treatment 2, if null hypothesis is rejected by using the 95% level of confidence.
f.
Explanation of Solution
A 95% confidence interval is as follows:
Where,
From the output in Part (c), the mean of treatment 1 is 9.7, mean of treatment 2 is 2.2, and MSE is 1.052.
Step-by-step procedure to obtain t-critical value using Excel-MegaStat:
- In EXCEL, Select Add-Ins > MegaStat > Probability > t-Distribution.
- Select calculate t given P.
- Enter probability as 0.05.
- Enter df as 9.
- Under Shading, choose two-tail.
- Click Ok.
Output using the Excel-MegaStat software is given below:
From the output, the t is
Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for that difference is 5.8 and 9.2. Here, 0 does not include in the confidence interval.
It means that there is a significant difference between the means of treatment 1 and treatment 2 because the endpoints have same sign or does not include zero.
