An experiment was designed to compare the effectiveness of teaching statistics in 4 different schools. Randomly selected 80 students (20 students from each school) were required to complete 5 tasks. For each given task, the average result for each of 4 schools are presented in the table below.
| School 1 | School 2 | School 3 | School 4 |
| 81 | 84 | 56 | 83 |
| 76 | 75 | 60 | 77 |
| 77 | 83 | 65 | 79 |
| 85 | 88 | 68 | 86 |
| 93 | 90 | 80 | 91 |
a) State the null and alternative hypotheses required to test if
the effectiveness of teaching are significantly different between
any of the schools.
b) Carry out the ANOVA, and report the test statistic and
P-value.
c) Write a brief conclusion of the ANOVA analysis.
d) Carry out the Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons and summarise
the results, if appropriate.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
a) NULL HYPOTHESIS H0: 
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS Ha: Not all means are equal
b) test statistic= 7.739
P value= 0.002
c) Since P value is SMALLER THAN THE LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE therefore SIGNIFICANT.
Decision: REJECT NULL HYPOTHESIS H0.
Conclusion: We have sufficient evidence to conclude that there is difference in mean scores.
d) From Bonferroni 's test there is difference in SCHOOL 1 and School 3 , School 2 and School 3, and School 3 and School 4.

#10. You are to determine if a new
online teaching model is better than the existing model, labelled
old. You administer random tests to a pre-selected group of
students first for material taught the old model and then under the
new model. The data is given in the Excel file and is labelled
problem # 10. Carry out an appropriate procedure in hypothesis
testing to determine if the new model is more effective for
learning.

Researchers designed a survey to compare the proportions of
children who come to school without eating breakfast in two
low-income elementary schools. An SRS of 80 students from School 1
found that 19 had not eaten breakfast. At School 2, an SRS of 150
students included 26 who had not had breakfast. More than 1500
students attend each school. Do these data give convincing evidence
of a difference in the population proportions? Carry out a
significance test at the α=...
