Step-by-step solution

10 steps

To determine if there are significant differences between the means of the four samples, we will perform a One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a 5% level of significance.

  1. State the Hypotheses

    • Null Hypothesis (H0H_0): There is no significant difference between the means of the four samples. H0:μA=μB=μC=μDH_0: \mu_A = \mu_B = \mu_C = \mu_D
    • Alternative Hypothesis (H1H_1): At least one sample mean is significantly different from the others. H1:At least one μj is differentH_1: \text{At least one } \mu_j \text{ is different}

    The significance level is α=0.05\alpha = 0.05.

  2. Calculate Descriptive Statistics for Each Sample

    Let njn_j be the number of observations in sample jj, ∑xj\sum x_j be the sum of observations, and ∑xj2\sum x_j^2 be the sum of squared observations.

    • Sample A: nA=5n_A = 5 ∑xA=9+7+12+14+13=55\sum x_A = 9+7+12+14+13 = 55 xˉA=11\bar{x}_A = 11 ∑xA2=92+72+122+142+132=81+49+144+196+169=639\sum x_A^2 = 9^2+7^2+12^2+14^2+13^2 = 81+49+144+196+169 = 639
    • Sample B: nB=6n_B = 6 ∑xB=18+12+15+13+16+16=90\sum x_B = 18+12+15+13+16+16 = 90 xˉB=15\bar{x}_B = 15 ∑xB2=182+122+152+132+162+162=324+144+225+169+256+256=1374\sum x_B^2 = 18^2+12^2+15^2+13^2+16^2+16^2 = 324+144+225+169+256+256 = 1374
    • Sample C: nC=6n_C = 6 ∑xC=10+9+11+10+7+10=57\sum x_C = 10+9+11+10+7+10 = 57 xˉC=9.5\bar{x}_C = 9.5 ∑xC2=102+92+112+102+72+102=100+81+121+100+49+100=551\sum x_C^2 = 10^2+9^2+11^2+10^2+7^2+10^2 = 100+81+121+100+49+100 = 551
    • Sample D: nD=6n_D = 6 ∑xD=13+8+9+12+11+10=63\sum x_D = 13+8+9+12+11+10 = 63 xˉD=10.5\bar{x}_D = 10.5 ∑xD2=132+82+92+122+112+102=169+64+81+144+121+100=679\sum x_D^2 = 13^2+8^2+9^2+12^2+11^2+10^2 = 169+64+81+144+121+100 = 679
  3. Calculate Overall Statistics

    Total number of observations N=nA+nB+nC+nD=5+6+6+6=23N = n_A+n_B+n_C+n_D = 5+6+6+6 = 23.
    Grand Sum ∑X=55+90+57+63=265\sum X = 55+90+57+63 = 265.
    Grand Sum of Squares ∑X2=639+1374+551+679=3243\sum X^2 = 639+1374+551+679 = 3243.
    Correction Factor CF=(∑X)2N=265223=7022523≈3053.2609CF = \frac{(\sum X)^2}{N} = \frac{265^2}{23} = \frac{70225}{23} \approx 3053.2609.

  4. Calculate Sum of Squares

    • Sum of Squares Total (SST): SST=∑X2−CF=3243−3053.2609=189.7391SST = \sum X^2 - CF = 3243 - 3053.2609 = 189.7391
    • Sum of Squares Between Treatments (SSTreatment): SSTreatment=∑j=1k(∑xj)2nj−CFSSTreatment = \sum_{j=1}^{k} \frac{(\sum x_j)^2}{n_j} - CF SSTreatment=(5525+9026+5726+6326)−3053.2609SSTreatment = \left( \frac{55^2}{5} + \frac{90^2}{6} + \frac{57^2}{6} + \frac{63^2}{6} \right) - 3053.2609 SSTreatment=(30255+81006+32496+39696)−3053.2609SSTreatment = \left( \frac{3025}{5} + \frac{8100}{6} + \frac{3249}{6} + \frac{3969}{6} \right) - 3053.2609 SSTreatment=(605+1350+541.5+661.5)−3053.2609SSTreatment = (605 + 1350 + 541.5 + 661.5) - 3053.2609 SSTreatment=3158−3053.2609=104.7391SSTreatment = 3158 - 3053.2609 = 104.7391
    • Sum of Squares Within Treatments (SSError): SSError=SST−SSTreatment=189.7391−104.7391=85.0000SSError = SST - SSTreatment = 189.7391 - 104.7391 = 85.0000
  5. Calculate Degrees of Freedom (df)

    • df for Treatments (df1=k−1df_1 = k-1): 4−1=34-1 = 3
    • df for Error (df2=N−kdf_2 = N-k): 23−4=1923-4 = 19
    • df Total (N−1N-1): 23−1=2223-1 = 22
  6. Calculate Mean Squares (MS)

    • Mean Square for Treatments (MSTreatment): MSTreatment=SSTreatmentdf1=104.73913≈34.9130MSTreatment = \frac{SSTreatment}{df_1} = \frac{104.7391}{3} \approx 34.9130
    • Mean Square for Error (MSError): MSError=SSErrordf2=85.000019≈4.4737MSError = \frac{SSError}{df_2} = \frac{85.0000}{19} \approx 4.4737
  7. Calculate the F-statistic

    F=MSTreatmentMSError=34.91304.4737≈7.8041F = \frac{MSTreatment}{MSError} = \frac{34.9130}{4.4737} \approx 7.8041
  8. Determine the Critical F-value

    For α=0.05\alpha = 0.05, df1=3df_1 = 3, and df2=19df_2 = 19, the critical F-value from the F-distribution table is approximately Fcritical=3.127F_{critical} = 3.127.

  9. Make a Decision

    Since the calculated F-statistic (7.8041) is greater than the critical F-value (3.127), we reject the null hypothesis (H0H_0).

  10. State the Conclusion

    There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there are significant differences between the means of the treatments (samples A, B, C, D) at the 5% level of significance.

    The final answer is Yes, there are significant differences between the means of the treatments.\boxed{\text{Yes, there are significant differences between the means of the treatments.}}
