Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given values are-

  n=36P<0.001

Calculation:

Randomly select four groups of fruit flies, then gave each group a different dosage of caffeine (control, 1 mg/ml, 2.5 mg/ml, and 5 mg/ml), then measure the rest time of each fruit fly during a 12-hour dark period.

b.

To determine

To find out which means does this test compare, and also state the null and alternative hypothesis for the test in the setting.

b.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The following is the given graph-

  Practice of Statistics in the Life Sciences, Chapter 24, Problem 24.1AYK

Calculation:

The ANOVA F test compares the means of the four groups. Let be the mean rest time for the control group, be the mean rest time for group of a dosage of 1 mg/ml, be the mean rest time for group of a dosage of 2.5 mg/ml, and be the mean rest time for group of a dosage of 5 mg/ml. The hypotheses are:

H 0: μ1=μ2=μ3=μ4 .

H a: not all μ1,μ2,μ3 and μ4 are equal

The graph shows that as the dosage of caffeine increases, the rest time decreases. The P-value of the ANOVA F test of P < 0.0001 leads a rejection of the null hypothesis. So at least one of the average rest times of the four groups is different.

3. Explain why the following statements are not correct. a. "With my methodological approach, I can reduce the Type I error with the given sample information without changing the Type II error." b. "I have already decided how much of the Type I error I am going to allow. A bigger sample will not change either the Type I or Type II error." C. "I can reduce the Type II error by making it difficult to reject the null hypothesis." d. "By making it easy to reject the null hypothesis, I am reducing the Type I error."
