Explanation / Answer

Solution

This is a direct application of One-way ANOVA (4 groups) with equal (5) number of observations per group.

Let xij represent the observation on the jth car in the ith row (group – type of car),

j = 1,2,…,n; i = 1,2,……,r

Then the ANOVA model is: xij = µ + ?i + ?ij, where µ = common effect, ?i = effect of ith row, and ?ij is the error component which is assumed to be Normally Distributed with mean 0 and variance ?2.

Null hypothesis: H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = ?4 = 0 [Claim that the four groups come from the same population with the same mean]

Vs

Alternative: HA: H0 is false [at least one ?i is different from others]

Since F < Fcrit, [also p-value > ?] null hypothesis is accepted. =>

Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the claim that the four samples come from the same population is valid. ANSWER.

Back-up Theory

Suppose we have data of a 1-way classification ANOVA, with r rows/treatments/groups and n observations per row/treatment/group.

Let xij represent the jth observation in the ith row, j = 1,2,…,n; i = 1,2,……,r

Then the ANOVA model is: xij = µ + ?i + ?ij, where µ = common effect, ?i = effect of ith row, and ?ij is the error component which is assumed to be Normally Distributed with mean 0 and variance ?2.

Null hypothesis: H0: ?1 = ?2 = ?3 = 0 Vs Alternative: HA: H0 is false [at least one ?i is different from others]

Now, to work out the solution,

Terminology:

Row total = xi.= sum over j of xij

Grand total = G = sum over i of xi.

Correction Factor = C = G2/N, where N = total number of observations = r x n =

Total Sum of Squares: SST = (sum over i,j of xij2) – C

Row Sum of Squares: SSR = {(sum over i of xi.2)/(n)} – C

Error Sum of Squares: SSE = SST – SSR

Mean Sum of Squares = Sum of squares/Degrees of Freedom

Fcrit: upper ?% point of F-Distribution with degrees of freedom n1 and n2, where n1 is the DF for Row and n2 is the DF for Error

Significance: Fobs is significant if Fobs > Fcrit
