Question

Using the partially completed analysis of variance and table of means provided below, answer the following questions. Use the .05 significance level. All three groups have the same sample size.

Source / SS / df / MS / F

Treatment 4.3669 for F

Error 9.03 for MS

Total 29 for df

Sample Mean of Group A = 278.3

Sample Mean of Group B = 275.4

Sample Mean of Group C = 274.5

Find the value of LSD for comparing Groups A and B.

Is the difference between groups A and B significant?

What's the value of SSTR?

What's the value of SSE?

Explanation / Answer

for above table:

here for degree of freedom of error =27

for 0.05 level and 27 degree of freedom critical vlaue of t =2.0518

sample size n=10

MSE =9.3

LSD for comparsion between group A and B =t*(2*MSE/n)1/2 =2.7983

differnce between  groups A and B =|278.3-275.4|=2.9 >LSD

hence difference between groups A and B is significant

SSTR =81.2243

SSE =251.1

source SS df MS F treatment 81.2243 2 40.612 4.3669 Error 251.1000 27 9.3 total 332.3243 29
