Exercises 4. What is the critical F value fora sample of six observations in the numerator and four in the Henominatne? {ice 2 tun-tallad tect and the 10 sianificanca level 8. The following hypotheses are given. Ho: of = oF Ayah #08 Arandom sample of eight observations ‘rom the first population resulted in a standard de- Viation of 10, A random sample of six observations from the second population resulted in a standard deviation of 7. At the .02 significance level, is there a difierence in the variation of the two populations? 5. Arbitron Media Research, Inc. conducted a study of the radio listening habits of men and Women. One facet of the study involved the mean listening time. It was discovered that the mean listening time for men was 25 minutes per day. The standard deviation of the sample of the 10 men studied was 10 minutes per day. The mean listening time ‘or the 12 women studied was also 35 minutes, but the standard deviation of the sample was 12 minutes. At the .10 significance level, can we conclude that there is ¢ difference in the variation in the listening times for men end women? 7. The following is sample information. Test the hypothesis that the treatment means are equal. Use the .0S significance level. Treatment 1 ‘Treatment 2 Treatment 3 8 3 3 6 2 4 10 4 5 9 3 4 a.

Three parcels of land are being evaluated. Of particular Importance is the in- ‘come in the area surrounding the proposed mall, A random sample of four families is Chapter 12 selected near each proposed mall. Following are the sample results. At the .05 significance level, can the developer conclude there is a difference in the mean income? Use the usual, five-step hypothesis testing procedure.

A senior accounting major at Midsouth State University has Job offers from four GPA firms. ‘To explore the offers further, she asked a semple of recent trainees how many months each. ‘worked for the firm before receiving a raise in selary.

A sample of 18 homes, aiso sold within the last year, thet were one to three blocks from the ocean revealed that the standard deviation was $21,830. At ‘the .01 significance level, can we conclude that there is more variation in the selling prices of the oceantront homes? 17. There are two Chevrolet dealers in Jamestown, New York, The mean monthly sales at Sharkey Chevy and Dave White Chevrolet are about the same, However, Tom Sharkey, the owner of Sharkey Chevy, believes his sales are more consistent. Below is the number of new cars sold at Sharkey in the last seven months and for the last eight months at Dave White. Do you agree with Mr. Sharkey? Use the .01 significance level.

Random samples of six were selected trom each ‘of four populations, where the sum of squares total was 260, a. Set up the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis. b, What is the decision rule? Use the .05 significance level. , Complete the ANOVA table. What is the value of F? d. What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? 21. A consumer organization wants to know whether there is a cifference in the price of a par- ticular toy at three different typas of stores, The price of the toy was checked in a sample of five discount stores, five veriety stores, and five department stores. The results are shown. below. Use the .05 significance level. Department $19 7 16 20 19 23. The City of Maumee comprises four districts. Chiet of police Andy North wants to deter- mine vihether there is a difference in the mean number of crimes committed among the four districts. He recorded the number of crimes reported in each district for a sample of six days. At the .05 significance level, can the chief of police conclude there is a difference in ‘the mean number of crimes?

Also, t? = F As an example, suppose tht 14 randomly selected stu- dents were divided into two groups, one consisting of 6 students and the other of 8. One group was taught using a combination of lecture and programmed instruction, the other us~ Inga combination of lecture.and television. At the end of the course, each group was given ‘4 50-item test. The following is a list of the number correct for each of the two groups.
