To determine
Whether the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that at least two of the populations differ in location or not.

Answer to Problem 15.80LM

There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim. This implies that the probability distributions of at least two of the populations differ in location.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The data shows that the three independent random samples, and it is known that the sampled proportions are not normally distributed.

Calculation:

The claim that the probability distributions of at least two of the populations are differ in location were presented is alternative hypothesis. Thus, the null hypothesis is the all three populations have the same distribution.

The hypotheses are given below:

Null hypothesis:

H0: The probability distributions of the three populations have the same distribution.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: At least two of the population’s distribution is different from the location.

The test statistic is compute by using the below formula.

H=12n(n+1)nj(R¯jR¯)2

Where,

R¯j=RjnjR¯=(nj)+12

The ranks are obtained below:

Population Observation Rank
1 18 4.5
1 32 6
1 43 9
1 15 3
1 63 12
2 12 2
2 33 7
2 10 1
2 34 8
2 18 4.5
3 87 16
3 53 11
3 65 14
3 50 10
3 64 13
3 77 15

The sum of ranks of population 1 is,

R1=4.5+6+9+3+12=34.5

The sum of ranks of population 2 is,

R2=2+7+1+8+4.5=22.5

The sum of ranks of population 3 is,

R3=16+11+14+10+13+15=79

The value of R¯1 is,

R¯1=R1n1=34.55=6.9

Thus, the value of R¯1 is 6.9.

The value of R¯2 is,

R¯2=R2n2=22.55=4.5

Thus, the value of R¯2 is 4.5.

The value of R¯3 is,

R¯3=R3n3=796=13.167

Thus, the value of R¯3 is 13.167.

The value of R¯ is,

R¯=(n1+n2+n3)+12=5+5+6+12=172=8.5

Thus, the value of R¯ is 8.5.

The test statistic is,

H=12n(n+1)nj(R¯jR¯)2=1216(17)[5(6.98.5)2+5(4.58.5)2+6(13.1678.5)2]=12272[(5×2.56)+(5×16)+(6×21.7809)]=0.0441[12.8+80+130.6853]

    =0.0441×223.4853=9.856

The test value is H=9.856 .

Critical value:

Here, the level of significance (α) is 0.05, and the number of variables k is 3.

The degrees of freedom is,

k1=31=2

The level of significance is,

α=0.05

From “Appendix D Table IV: Critical Values of χ2 ” the critical region is obtained by following the below procedure:

Procedure:

  • Locate the degrees of freedom as 2 in the first column.
  • Locate the level of significance as 0.05 in the first row.
  • The intersection value 5.99147 is the critical region for the degrees of freedom as 2 with α=0.05 .

Thus, the rejection region for the test is H>5.99147 .

Rejection region:

If H>5.99147 , then reject the null hypothesis H0 .

Decision:

It is clear that the test statistic value is 9.856, and critical value is 5.99147.

Here, test statistic is greater than critical value.

That is, H(=9.856)>critical value(=5.99147) .

Therefore, by the rejection region, the null hypothesis H0 is rejected.

There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim. Hence, the probability distributions of at least two of the populations differ in location.

In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.  Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
