0.05

Step-by-step solution

8 steps

Here are the steps to solve the problem:

Part i

State the null and alternate hypotheses for the question above.

  • Null Hypothesis (H0H_0): There is no significant difference in the mean scores among students in Agric Education, Business Education, and Industrial Technical Education. H0:μ1=μ2=μ3H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 = \mu_3
  • Alternate Hypothesis (H1H_1): At least one group mean score is significantly different from the others. H1:Not all means are equalH_1: \text{Not all means are equal}

Part ii0.05

State the level of significance.

The level of significance is not explicitly stated in the question. We will assume a common level of significance.

  • Level of Significance (α\alpha): 0.05\boxed{0.05}

Part iii· 8 steps

Calculate the F-value.

We will perform a one-way ANOVA to calculate the F-value.

  1. Calculate the sum, mean, and sum of squares for each group.

    • Agric Education (Group 1): Scores (X1) = 7, 6, 6, 4, 8, 3, 6, 5, 7, 4

      • Number of observations (n1n_1) = 10
      • Sum (T1T_1) = 7+6+6+4+8+3+6+5+7+4=567+6+6+4+8+3+6+5+7+4 = 56
      • Mean (Xˉ1\bar{X}_1) = 5610=5.6\frac{56}{10} = 5.6
      • Sum of squares (∑X12\sum X_1^2) = 72+62+62+42+82+32+62+52+72+42=3367^2+6^2+6^2+4^2+8^2+3^2+6^2+5^2+7^2+4^2 = 336
    • Business Education (Group 2): Scores (X2) = 5, 4, 5, 6, 3, 5, 4, 7, 3, 4

      • Number of observations (n2n_2) = 10
      • Sum (T2T_2) = 5+4+5+6+3+5+4+7+3+4=465+4+5+6+3+5+4+7+3+4 = 46
      • Mean (Xˉ2\bar{X}_2) = 4610=4.6\frac{46}{10} = 4.6
      • Sum of squares (∑X22\sum X_2^2) = 52+42+52+62+32+52+42+72+32+42=2305^2+4^2+5^2+6^2+3^2+5^2+4^2+7^2+3^2+4^2 = 230
    • Industrial Technical Education (Group 3): Scores (X3) = 8, 5, 6, 9, 7, 8, 9, 5, 6, 8

      • Number of observations (n3n_3) = 10
      • Sum (T3T_3) = 8+5+6+9+7+8+9+5+6+8=718+5+6+9+7+8+9+5+6+8 = 71
      • Mean (Xˉ3\bar{X}_3) = 7110=7.1\frac{71}{10} = 7.1
      • Sum of squares (∑X32\sum X_3^2) = 82+52+62+92+72+82+92+52+62+82=5258^2+5^2+6^2+9^2+7^2+8^2+9^2+5^2+6^2+8^2 = 525
  2. Calculate the total number of observations, grand sum, and total sum of squares.

    • Total number of observations (NN) = n1+n2+n3=10+10+10=30n_1 + n_2 + n_3 = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
    • Grand Sum (GG) = T1+T2+T3=56+46+71=173T_1 + T_2 + T_3 = 56 + 46 + 71 = 173
    • Total Sum of Squares of all scores (∑X2\sum X^2) = ∑X12+∑X22+∑X32=336+230+525=1091\sum X_1^2 + \sum X_2^2 + \sum X_3^2 = 336 + 230 + 525 = 1091
  3. Calculate the Correction Factor (CF).

    CF=G2N=173230=2992930=997.6333CF = \frac{G^2}{N} = \frac{173^2}{30} = \frac{29929}{30} = 997.6333
  4. Calculate the Total Sum of Squares (SST).

    SST=∑X2−CF=1091−997.6333=93.3667SST = \sum X^2 - CF = 1091 - 997.6333 = 93.3667
  5. Calculate the Sum of Squares Between Groups (SSB).

    SSB=(T12n1+T22n2+T32n3)−CFSSB = \left( \frac{T_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{T_2^2}{n_2} + \frac{T_3^2}{n_3} \right) - CF SSB=(56210+46210+71210)−997.6333SSB = \left( \frac{56^2}{10} + \frac{46^2}{10} + \frac{71^2}{10} \right) - 997.6333 SSB=(313610+211610+504110)−997.6333SSB = \left( \frac{3136}{10} + \frac{2116}{10} + \frac{5041}{10} \right) - 997.6333 SSB=(313.6+211.6+504.1)−997.6333SSB = (313.6 + 211.6 + 504.1) - 997.6333 SSB=1029.3−997.6333=31.6667SSB = 1029.3 - 997.6333 = 31.6667
  6. Calculate the Sum of Squares Within Groups (SSW).

    SSW=SST−SSB=93.3667−31.6667=61.7000SSW = SST - SSB = 93.3667 - 31.6667 = 61.7000
  7. Calculate the Degrees of Freedom.

    • Degrees of Freedom Between Groups (df1df_1) = k−1=3−1=2k - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 (where kk is the number of groups)
    • Degrees of Freedom Within Groups (df2df_2) = N−k=30−3=27N - k = 30 - 3 = 27
