Random sampling from four normally distributed populations produced the following data: (You may find it useful to reference the F table.) Treatments A B C D −7 −12 −9 −14 −8 −16 −13 −7 −10 −20 −13 −6 −15 −14 −14 Click here for the Excel Data File a. Calculate the grand mean. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate SSTR and MSTR. (Round final answers to 4 decimal places.) c. Calculate SSE and MSE. (Round final answers to 4 decimal places.) d. Specify the competing hypotheses in order to determine whether some differences exist between the population means. multiple choice 1 H0: μA ≥ μB ≥ μC; HA: Not all population means are equal. H0: μA ≤ μB ≤ μC; HA: Not all population means are equal. H0: μA = μB = μC; HA: Not all population means are equal. Correct e-1. Calculate the value of the F(df1, df2) test statistic. (Round final answer to 3 decimal places.) e-2. Find the p-value. multiple choice 2 0.01 p-value < 0.025 Correct 0.05 p-value < 0.10 p-value 0.10 0.025 p-value < 0.05 p-value < 0.01 f. At the 5% significance level, what is the conclusion to the test? multiple choice 3 Reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level Correct Do not reject H0 since the p-value is not less than significance level Do not reject H0 since the p-value is less than significance level Reject H0 since the p-value is not less than significance level g. Interpret the results at α� = 0.05. multiple choice 4 We cannot conclude that some means differ. We conclude that some means differ. Correct We conclude that all means differ. We conclude that population mean C is greater than population mean A.
