A random sample of companies in electric utilities (I), financial services (II), and food processing (III) gave the following information regarding annual profits per employee (units in thousands of dollars). I II III 49.9 55.6 39.4 43.8 24.7 37.5 32.3 41.3 10.9 27.3 29.3 32.3 38.5 39.3 15.2 36.2 42.5 20.6 Shall we reject or not reject the claim that there is no difference in population mean annual profits per employee in each of the three types of companies? Use a 1% level of significance. (a) What is the level of significance? Correct: Your answer is correct. State the null and alternate hypotheses. Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3; H1: Not all the means are equal. Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3; H1: All three means are different. Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3; H1: Exactly two means are equal. Ho: μ1 = μ2 = μ3; H1: At least two means are equal. Correct: Your answer is correct. (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 3 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) (c) Find the P-value of the sample test statistic. P-value > 0.100 0.050 < P-value < 0.100 0.025 < P-value < 0.050 0.010 < P-value < 0.025 0.001 < P-value < 0.010 P-value < 0.001 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (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 α = 0.01, we do not reject H0. Since the P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance at α = 0.01, we reject H0. Since the P-value is greater than the level of significance at α = 0.01, we reject H0. Since the P-value is less than or equal to the level of significance at α = 0.01, we do not reject H0. Correct: Your answer is correct. (e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application. At the 1% level of significance there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the means are not all equal. At the 1% level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the means are all equal. At the 1% level of significance there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the means are all equal. At the 1% level of significance there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the means are not all equal. Correct: Your answer is correct. (f) Make a summary table for your ANOVA test.

The highway department is testing two types of reflecting paint
for concrete bridge end pillars. The two kinds of paint are alike
in every respect except that one is orange and the other is yellow.
The orange paint is applied to 12 bridges, and the yellow paint is
applied to 12 bridges. After a period of 1 year, reflectometer
readings were made on all these bridge end pillars. (A higher
reading means better visibility.) For the orange paint, the mean...

A comparison is made between two bus lines to determine if
arrival times of their regular buses from Denver to Durango are off
schedule by the same amount of time. For 51 randomly selected runs,
bus line A was observed to be off schedule an average time of 53
minutes, with standard deviation 19minutes. For 61 randomly
selected runs, bus line B was observed to be off schedule an
average of 62 minutes, with standard deviation 15 minutes. Do the...
