To test: The hypothesis that the mean IQs of the various educational levels of the subjects are equal or not.

Answer to Problem 2DA
There is significant difference between the means ˉX1 and ˉX4, ˉX2 and ˉX4, and ˉX3and ˉX4. Thus, it can be concluding that there is significant difference between the means of “No high school degree and Graduate degree”, “High school degree and Graduate degree”, “College graduate and Graduate degree”.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The databank shows the IQs of the various educational levels of the subjects.
Calculation:
Answers may vary. One of the possible answers is as follows:
Select random samples from the databank. The samples are given below.
No high school degree | High school degree | College graduate | Graduate degree |
103 | 106 | 110 | 121 |
101 | 98 | 106 | 129 |
103 | 99 | 116 | 126 |
100 | 122 | 100 | 128 |
116 | 109 | 113 | 131 |
103 | 100 | 114 |
The hypotheses are given below:
Null hypothesis:
H0:μ1=μ2=μ3=μ4
Alternative hypothesis:
H1: At least one mean is different from the others
Here, the difference in the mean percentage of voters in different places is tested. Hence, the claim is that,there is a difference in the mean percentage of voters in different places.
The number of samples k is 4, the sample sizes n1, n2, n3 and n4 are 6, 6, 6 and 5.
The degrees of freedom are d.f.N=k−1 and d.f.D=N−k.
Where
N=n1+n2+n3+n4=6+6+6+5=23
Substitute 4 for k in d.f.N
d.f.N=k−1 =4-1=3
Substitute 23 for N and 4 for k in d.f.D
d.f.D=N−k=23−4=19
Critical value:
The critical F-value is obtained using the Table H: The F-Distribution with the level of significance α=0.05.
Procedure:
- Locate 19 in the degrees of freedom, denominator row of the Table H.
- Obtain the value in the corresponding degrees of freedom, numerator column below 3.
That is, the critical value is 3.13.
Rejection region:
The null hypothesis would be rejected if F>3.13.
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to obtain the test statistic using the MINITAB software:
- Choose Stat > ANOVA > One-Way.
- In Response, enter the IQ.
- In Factor, enter the Factor.
- Click OK.
Output using the MINITAB software is given below:
From the MINITAB output, the test valueF is 13.33.
Conclusion:
From the results, the test value is 13.33.
Here, the F-statistic value is greater than the critical value.
That is, 13.33>3.13.
Thus, it can be concluding that, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Hence, there is evidence to reject the claim thatthe mean IQs of the various educational levels of the subjectsare equal. So use Scheffe test for where the difference exists.
Consider, ˉX1, ˉX2, ˉX3 and ˉX4 represents the means of No high school degree, High school degree, College graduate and Graduate degree, s21,s22, s23 and s24 represents the variances of samples of No high school degree, High school degree, College graduate and Graduate degree.
From the Minitab output, the sample sizes n1,n2,n3 and n4 are 6, 6, 6 and 5.
The means are ˉX1,ˉX2, ˉX3 and ˉX4 are 104.33, 105.67, 109.83 and 127.00.

Critical value:
The formula for critical value F1 for the Scheffe test is,
F1=(k−1)(Critical value)
Here, the critical value of F test is 3.13.
Substitute 3.13 for critical value is of F and 3 for k-1 in F1
F1=3(3.13)=9.39
