Losses to Robbery. At the 5%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference in mean losses exists among the three types of robberies? Use one-way ANOVA to perform the required hypothesis test. (Note: T1=4899,T2=7013,T3=4567and 5x2=16,683,857.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The data provided is adequate to determine that the three categories of robberies have different mean losses.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given data is

02

Explanation

Let us consider the test hypothesis

Null hypothesis

H0: There is no evidence that difference exist three mean losses.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: There is a difference exist in the three losses.

Total number of samples

n=n

=4899+7013+4567

=16479

Total sample size

x=T

=4899+7013+4567

=16479

The number of samples

k=3

x2=16,683,857

SST=x2-x2n

=16,683,857-16479217

=09889.9

SSTR=Ti2ni-x2n

=489925+701325+456725-16479217

=499349.4157

The ANOVA table is

The critical value at 5%significant level is =3.7389.

Critical value approach:

The level of significance α=0.05

F-statistic(16.60)>α(0.05)The null hypothesis is rejected

As a result, the results are statistically significant at the5%level.

As a result, the data provided is adequate to determine that the three categories of robberies have different mean losses.

Magazine Ads. Advertising researchers F. Shuptrine and D. McVicker wanted to determine whether there were significant differences in the readability of magazine advertisements. Thirty magazines were classified based on their educational level-high, mid, or low - and then three magazines were randomly selected from each level. From each magazine, six advertisements were randomly chosen and examined for readability. In this particular case, readability was characterized by the numbers of words, sentences, and words of three syllables or more in each ad. The researchers published their findings in the paper "Readability Levels of Magazine Ads" (Journal of Advertising Research, Vol. 21. No. 5, pp. 45-51). The number of words of three syllables or more in each ad are provided on the WeissStats site.

a. Obtain individual normal probability plots and the standard deviations of the samples.

b. Perform a residual analysis.

c. Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to decide whether conducting a one-way ANOVA test and the data is reasonable. If so, also do parts (d)-(e).

d. Use a one-way ANOVA test to decide, at the 5%significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists among the means of the populations from which the samples were taken.

e. Interpret your results from part (d).

Weight loss and Leg Power. Another characteristic compared in the hip bone density study "discussed in Problem 19
was " Maximum Nottingham leg power, in watts, On the WeissStats site, we provide the leg-power data for the three groups, based on the results obtained by the researchers.

13.18 Explain the logic behind one-way ANOVA.

We have provided data from independent simple random samples from several populations. In each case, determine the following items.

a. SSTR

b. MSTR

c. SSE

d. MSE

Minke Whales. Entanglement of marine mammals in fishing gear is a global issue and a significant threat to minke whales, in particular. In the article "Fishing gears involved in Entanglements of Minke Whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the East Sea of Korea" (Marine Mammal Science, Vol. 26, No. 2, Pp, 282-295), K Song et al, studied the body lengths of minke whales entangled near Korea. The following table provides summary statistics for the body lengths of minke whales entangled at different ocean depths. Both variables, body length and ocean depth are in meters.

At the 1%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in mean body length among minke whales entangled at the four different depths? Note: For the degrees of freedom in this exercise:
