A medical researcher wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean length of time it takes three types of pain relievers to provide relief from headache pain. Several headache sufferers are randomly selected and given one of the three medications. Each headache sufferer records the time (in minutes) it takes the medication to begin working. The results are shown in the table. At a α = 0.01, can you conclude that the mean times are different? Assume that each population of relief times is normally distributed and that the population variances are equal.
Medication 1 Medication 2 Medication 3 12 16 14 15 14 17 17 21 20 12 15 15
What is the explanatory variable in this experiment? The response variable? Claim: The mean relief times are different for the pain relievers. H0: H1: Test Statistic F p-value: Conclusion: Interpretation:
