Chapter 11, Problem 1PS

An experiment has a single factor with five groups and seven values in each group.

a. How many degrees of freedom are there is determining the among-group variation?

b. How many degrees of freedom are there in determining the within-group variation?

c. How many degrees of freedom are there in determining the total variation?

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Determine the value of degrees of freedom for among group variation.

Answer to Problem 1PS

The required value of degrees of freedom is 4.

Explanation of Solution

In a study, among group variation is measured between groups of the data. The degree of freedom for among group variation can be calculated as:

Degrees of  freedom=c1

Here, c is the number of groups present in the data set. Since 5 groups have been compared in the study, substitute n=5 in the above formula.

DF=c1=51=4

Hence, the value of degrees of freedom for among group variation is 4 .

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Determine the value of degrees of freedom for within group variation.

Answer to Problem 1PS

The required value of degrees of freedom is 30.

Explanation of Solution

In a study, within group variation is measured between the data points of each group. The degree of freedom for within group variation can be calculated as:

Degrees of freedom=nc

Here, n is the total number of data values and c is the number of groups.

Since, there are 5 groups with 7 values each, the total number of data values is:

5×7=35 .

Substitute n=35 in the above formula.

DF=nc=355=30

Hence, the value of degrees of freedom for within group variation is 30 .

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

Determine the value of number of degrees for the total variation.

Answer to Problem 1PS

The required value of degrees of freedom is 34.

Explanation of Solution

The degree of freedom for the total variation can be calculated as:

DF=n1

Here, n is the total number of data values. Since the total number of data values is 35, the value of degrees of freedom for the total variation is:

DF=n1=351=34

Hence, the value of degrees of freedom is 34.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?
A common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute.      Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each…
A qualifying exam for a graduate school program has a math section and a verbal section. Students receive a score of 1, 2, or 3 on each section. Define X as a student’s score on the math section and Y as a student’s score on the verbal section. Test scores vary according to the following bivariate probability distribution.       y       1 2 3   1 0.22 0.33 0.05 x 2 0.00 0.08 0.20   3 0.07 0.05 0.00   μXX =    , and μYY =       σXX =    , and σYY =       The covariance of X and Y is    . The coefficient of correlation is    . The variables X and Y    independent.   The expected value of X + Y is    , and the variance of X + Y is    .   To be accepted to a particular graduate school program, a student must have a combined score of 4 on the qualifying exam. What is the probability that a randomly selected exam taker qualifies for the program? 0.45   0.47   0.46   0.33     Chebysheff’s Theorem states that the…
