Question

The following table lists the number of pages in four different types of magazines.
Home decorating News Health Computer
170 87 82 100
285 92 150 134
160 122 85 98
203 103 99 205
196 101 96 145

Using a significance level of 5%, test the hypothesis that the four magazine types have the same average length. (Let 1 = Home decorating, 2 = News, 3 = Health and 4 = Computer.)

  • Part (a)

    State the null hypothesis.
    H0: At least two of the group means ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4 are not equal.
    H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = ?4
        
  • Part (b)

    State the alternative hypothesis.
    Ha: At least two of the group means ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4 are not equal.
    Ha: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = ?4
        
  • Part (c)

    Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.
    df(num) = 
  • Part (d)

    Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.
    df(denom) = 
  • Part (e)

    State the distribution to use for the test.
    F16, 3
    F3, 16
        
    F3, 19
    F19, 16
    F16, 19
  • Part (f)

    What is the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
  • Part (g)

    What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


    Explain what the p-value means for this problem.
    If H0 is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or less than the calculated value.If H0 is false, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.    If H0 is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or less than the calculated value.If H0 is true, then there is a chance equal to the p-value that the value of the test statistic will be equal to or greater than the calculated value.
  • Part (h)

    Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis, and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
       
       
  • Part (i)

    Indicate the correct decision ("reject" or "do not reject" the null hypothesis) and write appropriate conclusions.
    (i) Alpha (Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal.)
    ? = 

    (ii) Decision:
    reject the null hypothesisdo not reject the null hypothesis    

    (iii) Reason for decision:
    Since ? < p-value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
    Since ? < p-value, we reject the null hypothesis.    
    Since ? > p-value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
    Since ? > p-value, we reject the null hypothesis.

    (iv) Conclusion:
    There is sufficient evidence to warrant a rejection that the four magazine types have the same average length.
    There is not sufficient evidence to warrant a rejection that the four magazine type have the same average length.
