For Exercises 3 through 8, the null hypothesis was rejected. Use the Scheffe test when sample sizes are unequal or the Tukey test when sample sizes are equal, to test the differences between the pairs of means. Assume all variables are
4. Exercise 12 in Section 12-1.
12. Weight Gain of Athletes A researcher wishes to see whether there is any difference in the weight gains of athletes following one of three special diets Athletes are randomly assigned to three groups and placed on the diet for 6 weeks. The weight gains (in pounds) are shown here. At a = 0.05, can the researcher conclude that there is a difference in the diets?
Diet A | Diet B | Diet C |
3 | 10 | 8 |
6 | 12 | 3 |
7 | 11 | 2 |
4 | 14 | 5 |
8 | ||
