Consider the following computer output for an experiment. The factor was tested over four levels. Answer the following questions:
Source | SS | df | MS | F | P-value |
Factor |
330.47 |
3.01 | |||
Error | |||||
Total | 35 |
(a) How many replicates did the experimenter use?
(b) Fill in the missing information in the ANOVA table.
(c) Calculate P-value bounds using tables and the exact value using EXCEL.
(d)What conclusions can you draw about differences in the factor-level means?
Part a
Replicate = 9
Part b and c
Source | SS | df | MS | F | P-value |
Factor | 991.41 | 3 | 330.47 | 3.01 | 0.044501 |
Error | 3513.3023 | 32 | 109.7907 | ||
Total | 4504.7123 | 35 |
P value is calculated using formula
=FDIST(3.01,3,32)
Part d
Since p value is less than 0.05 i.e level of significance , we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is significant difference between factor- 4 level mean.
