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-

  PRACT STAT W/ ACCESS 6MO LOOSELEAF, 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.

I just need to know why this is wrong below: What is the test statistic W? W=5 (incorrect) and  What is the p-value of this test? (p-value < 0.001-- incorrect)   Use the Wilcoxon signed rank test to test the hypothesis that the median number of pages in the statistics books in the library from which the sample was taken is 400. A sample of 12 statistics books have the following numbers of pages pages 127 217 486 132 397 297 396 327 292 256 358 272 What is the sum of the negative ranks (W-)? 75 What is the sum of the positive ranks (W+)? 5What type of test is this?     two tailedWhat is the test statistic W? 5 These are the critical values for a 1-tailed Wilcoxon Signed Rank test for n=12 Alpha Level 0.001 0.005 0.01 0.025 0.05 0.1 0.2 Critical Value 75 70 68 64 60 56 50 What is the p-value for this test?         p-value < 0.001
