Uuestions 15-18; The Wage Data report information on annual swages for a sample of 66 workers. An ANOVA table is. obtained as below to determine if there is a difference in the mean annual wages among workers with different Fcritical MS occupations.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

First of all we have to complete given ANOVA table by using following formulas:

SSW = SST – SSB

DF within = DF total – DF between

MSB = SSB / DF between

MSE = SSE / DF within

F = MSB / MSE

We have to find F critical and p-value by using F-table.

Completed ANOVA table by using above formulas is given as below:

Question 15

Correct Answer:

D) There is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 = µ5 = µ6

(Because P-value = 0.015005 < = 0.05, so we reject the null hypothesis H0.)

Question 16

Correct Answer:

A) 2.37

(By using F-table)

Question 17

We have to find 95% confidence interval for mean difference between service and professional occupation.

Formula is given as below:

Confidence interval = Absolute difference -/+ t*sqrt(MSE*((1/n1)+(1/n2)))

Absolute difference = 43002 – 21510 = 21492

DF for critical value t = DF within = 60

= 0.05

So, by using t-table or excel, we get

Critical value = t = 2.000298

MSE = 37675.28 (from above ANOVA)

((1/n1)+(1/n2)) = (1/13) + (1/15) = 0.14359

MSE*((1/n1)+(1/n2)) = 37675.28*0.14359 = 5409.784

sqrt(MSE*((1/n1)+(1/n2))) = sqrt(5409.784) = 73.55124

Margin of error = t*sqrt(MSE*((1/n1)+(1/n2))) = 2.000298*73.55124 = 147.1244

Confidence interval = Absolute difference -/+ t*sqrt(MSE*((1/n1)+(1/n2)))

Lower limit = 21492 - 147.1244 = 21344.88

Upper limit = 21492 + 147.1244 = 21639.12

Confidence interval = (21345, 21639)

Correct Answer:

E) [21345, 21639]

Question 18

Here, we have to find total variation or coefficient of determination or R square.

R square = 1 – (SSW / SST) = 1 – (2260517/2843320) = 20.49727%

Correct Answer:

D) About 20%
