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.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The following is the given graph-

  EBK PRACTICE OF STATISTICS IN THE LIFE, 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.

21. ANALYSIS OF LAST DIGITS Heights of statistics students were obtained by the author as part of an experiment conducted for class. The last digits of those heights are listed below. Construct a frequency distribution with 10 classes. Based on the distribution, do the heights appear to be reported or actually measured? Does there appear to be a gap in the frequencies and, if so, how might that gap be explained?
