Question

The weights in grams of a sample of plain candies is given above.

Use statistical software to determine whether there is difference in the mean weights of candies of different colours. Use the 0.005 significance level.

Explanation / Answer

Ho: All means are equal

Ha: At least one mean is significantly different from others

We run a one-factor ANOVA and get the following output:

Since the p- value (0.3774) > 0.005, we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Conclusion: There is noevidence of a difference in the mean weights of candies of different colours.
