To test whether the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is the same for machines produced by three manufacturers, a chemical company obtained the following data on the time (in minutes) needed to mix the material.
Manufacturer
1 2 3
20 29 20
27 25 20
25 32 23
24 26 17
(a)
Use these data to test whether the population mean times for mixing a batch of material differ for the three manufacturers. Use 
? = 0.05.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
-H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3
Ha: Not all the population means are equal.H0:
-At least two of the population means are equal.
Ha: At least two of the population means are different.
-H0: ?1 ≠ ?2 ≠ ?3
Ha: ?1 = ?2 = ?3H0:
-Not all the population means are equal.
Ha: ?1 = ?2 = ?1
-H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3
Ha: ?1 ≠ ?2 ≠ ?3
Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Stastic=??
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value = ??
State your conclusion.
Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is not the same for each manufacturer.Reject H0.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is not the same for each manufacturer.
 
(b)
At the ? = 0.05 level of significance, use Fisher's LSD procedure to test for the equality of the means for manufacturers 1 and 3.
Find the value of LSD. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
LSD = ??
Find the pairwise absolute difference between sample means for manufacturers 1 and 3.
 
x1 − x3=??
 
 
What conclusion can you draw after carrying out this test?
There is a significant difference between the means for manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 3.There is not a significant difference between the means for manufacturer 1 and manufacturer 3.
