Question

Sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. Children who suffer from untreated sleep apnea often have behavior problems, including hyperactivity, inattention, and aggression. A common treatment for pediatric sleep apnea is the surgical removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that are obstructing the airways. Suppose researchers at a sleep clinic are interested in the effect of surgical treatment for pediatric sleep apnea on hyperactive behavior. They study 11 children without sleep apnea, 11 children with untreated sleep apnea, and 11 children who have been surgically treated for sleep apnea. Hyperactivity is measured using the Conners Rating Scales. The sample means and sums of squares of the scores for each of the three groups are presented in the following table. Group No Sleep Apnea Untreated Sleep Apnea Treated Sleep Apnea Sample Mean Sum of Squares 0.42 0.3240 0.56 0.4410 0.30 0.2250 The researchers perform an analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a equal. The results are presented in the following ANOVA table. .01 to test the hypothesis that the treatment means are Source of Variation Between Treatments Within Treatments Total ANOVA Table Degrees of Sum of Squares Freedom 0.3725 2 0.9900 30 1.3625 M ean Square 0.1863 0.0330
