Math Problem Statement

Determine the missing values in the following one-way ANOVA table involving 3 treatments (groups) with sample sizes 15, 9, and 11.

Do not round answers, but if you must round, report answers accurate to 4 decimal places.

SS df MS    F    Between (Treatment) 86.97

Within (Error) 1113.216

Total

Solution

To solve for the missing values in the given one-way ANOVA table, we need to apply the standard formulas used in ANOVA calculations.

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Degrees of Freedom (df):

    • For the Between (Treatment) df: dfBetween=k1df_{\text{Between}} = k - 1 where kk is the number of treatments (groups). Here, k=3k = 3. dfBetween=31=2df_{\text{Between}} = 3 - 1 = 2

    • For the Within (Error) df: dfWithin=Nkdf_{\text{Within}} = N - k where NN is the total number of observations across all treatments. Given the sample sizes n1=15n_1 = 15, n2=9n_2 = 9, and n3=11n_3 = 11, we have: N=15+9+11=35N = 15 + 9 + 11 = 35 So, dfWithin=353=32df_{\text{Within}} = 35 - 3 = 32

    • For the Total df: dfTotal=N1=351=34df_{\text{Total}} = N - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34

  2. Mean Squares (MS):

    • Mean Square for Between (MS Between) is calculated by: MSBetween=SSBetweendfBetweenMS_{\text{Between}} = \frac{SS_{\text{Between}}}{df_{\text{Between}}} Given SSBetween=86.97SS_{\text{Between}} = 86.97 and dfBetween=2df_{\text{Between}} = 2: MSBetween=86.972=43.485MS_{\text{Between}} = \frac{86.97}{2} = 43.485

    • Mean Square for Within (MS Within) is calculated by: MSWithin=SSWithindfWithinMS_{\text{Within}} = \frac{SS_{\text{Within}}}{df_{\text{Within}}} Given SSWithin=1113.216SS_{\text{Within}} = 1113.216 and dfWithin=32df_{\text{Within}} = 32: MSWithin=1113.21632=34.81MS_{\text{Within}} = \frac{1113.216}{32} = 34.81

  3. F-Statistic:

    The F-statistic is calculated by: F=MSBetweenMSWithinF = \frac{MS_{\text{Between}}}{MS_{\text{Within}}} Substituting the values for MSBetween=43.485MS_{\text{Between}} = 43.485 and MSWithin=34.81MS_{\text{Within}} = 34.81: F=43.48534.811.25F = \frac{43.485}{34.81} \approx 1.25

Summary of Calculations:

  • df Between (Treatment) = 2
  • df Within (Error) = 32
  • df Total = 34
  • MS Between = 43.485
  • MS Within = 34.81
  • F-Statistic = 1.25

Would you like more details or clarification? Here are some related questions:

  1. How do you interpret the F-statistic in the context of hypothesis testing?
  2. What assumptions are made when performing a one-way ANOVA?
  3. How do you calculate the p-value from the F-statistic in ANOVA?
  4. What does a high F-statistic indicate about the variability between group means?
  5. How would you conduct a post-hoc test if the ANOVA result is significant?

Tip: Always check the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variances before interpreting the results of an ANOVA.
