Short Answer

Expert verified

At the significance level 0.05, there is enough t evidence to support the claim that females in different age brackets give attribute ratings with the same means. Hence, it can be concluded that age does not appear to be a factor in the female attribute ratings.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data set all have the same sample size. The given sample size \[n = 10\]\(\left( {{n_1} = {n_2} = {n_3} = 10} \right)\).

Number of samples (k) \( = 3\)

Significance level,\(\alpha \)\( = 0.05\)

02

State the hypothesis

To test the claim that females in different age brackets give attribute ratings with the same mean, the null hypothesis is formulated as,

\({H_0}:{\mu _1} = {\mu _2} = {\mu _3}\)

The corresponding alternative hypothesis is

\[{H_1}:\]At least one of the means is different from the others.

03

Compute sample means

Let,

\[{\bar x_1},{\bar x_2}{\rm{ and}}\;{\bar x_3}\]denotes the sample means and

\({n_1},{n_2}{\rm{ and }}{n_3}\)denotes the sample sizes.

Then,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{{\bar x}_1} = \frac{1}{{{n_1}}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} \\ = \frac{{38 + 42 + 30 + 39 + 47 + 43 + 33 + 31 + 32 + 28}}{{10}}\\ = \frac{{363}}{{10}}\\ = 36.3\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{{\bar x}_2} = \frac{1}{{{n_2}}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} \\ = \frac{{39 + 31 + 36 + 35 + 41 + 45 + 36 + 23 + 36 + 20}}{{10}}\\ = \frac{{342}}{{10}}\\ = 34.2\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{{\bar x}_3} = \frac{1}{{{n_3}}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} \\ = \frac{{36 + 42 + 35.5 + 27 + 37 + 34 + 22 + 47 + 36 + 32}}{{10}}\\ = \frac{{348.5}}{{10}}\\ = 34.85\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the sample means are 36.3, 34.2, and 34.85.

04

Compute sample variances

Let \(s_1^2,s_2^2{\rm{ and }}s_3^2\)denotes the sample variances. Then,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s_1^2 = \frac{1}{{{n_1} - 1}}{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} - {{\bar x}_1}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{1}{9}\left[ \begin{aligned}{l}{\left( {38 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {42 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {30 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {39 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {47 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {43 - 36.3} \right)^2}\\ + {\left( {33 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {31 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {32 - 36.3} \right)^2} + {\left( {28 - 36.3} \right)^2}\end{aligned} \right]\\ = 40.9\end{aligned}\)\(\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s_2^2 = \frac{1}{{{n_2} - 1}}{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} - {{\bar x}_2}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{1}{9}\left[ \begin{aligned}{l}{\left( {39 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {31 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {36 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {35 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {41 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {45 - 34.2} \right)^2}\\ + {\left( {36 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {23 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {36 - 34.2} \right)^2} + {\left( {20 - 34.2} \right)^2}\end{aligned} \right]\\ = 59.28\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s_3^2 = \frac{1}{{{n_3} - 1}}{\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i}} - {{\bar x}_3}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{1}{9}\left[ \begin{aligned}{l}{\left( {36 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {42 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {35.5 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {27 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {37 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {34 - 34.85} \right)^2}\\ + {\left( {22 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {47 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {36 - 34.85} \right)^2} + {\left( {32 - 34.85} \right)^2}\end{aligned} \right]\\ = 49.11\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the sample variances are 40.9, 59.28, and 49.11.

05

Compute the mean and variance of the sample means

Let,

\(\bar \bar x\)denotes the mean of sample means.

\(s_{\bar X}^2\)denotes the variance of sample means.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar \bar x = \frac{1}{k}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\bar x}_i}} \\ = \frac{{36.3 + 34.2 + 34.85}}{3}\\ = 35.11\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s_{\bar X}^2 = \frac{1}{{k - 1}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{({{\bar x}_i} - \bar \bar x)}^2}} \\ = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {{{\left( {36.3 - 35.11} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {34.2 - 35.11} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {34.85 - 35.11} \right)}^2}} \right]\\ = 1.16\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the mean of the sample mean is 35.11, and the variance of the sample mean is 1.16.

06

Compute the variance between sample means

Let \(ns_{\bar X}^2\)denotes the variance between sample means.

Then,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}ns_{\bar X}^2 = 10\left( {1.16} \right)\\ = 11.6\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the variance between samples is 11.6.

07

Compute the variance within sample means

Let \(s_p^2\)denotes the variance within samples, then

\(\begin{aligned}{c}s_p^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {s_i^2} \\ = \frac{1}{3}\left[ {40.9 + 59.28 + 49.11} \right]\\ = 49.76\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the variance within samples is 49.76.

08

Compute the test statistic

The F test statistic is

\(\begin{aligned}{c}F = \frac{{{\rm{Variance between samples}}}}{{{\rm{variance within samples}}}}\\ = \frac{{ns_{\bar X}^2}}{{s_p^2}}\\ = \frac{{11.6}}{{49.76}}\\ = 0.2331\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the value of F is 0.2331.

09

Finding the degrees of freedom

Let, \(k\)is the number of samples, and n is the sample size. Then,

Numerator degrees of freedom = \(k - 1\)

Denominator degrees of freedom= \(k\left( {n - 1} \right)\)

Here,

\(k - 1 = 2\)and \(k\left( {n - 1} \right) = 27\).

10

Finding the critical value

With \(\alpha = 0.05\), the critical value of F is

\({F_{\left( {2,27} \right)}} = 3.{\rm{3541}}\)\(\left( {{\rm{from F - distribution table}}} \right)\)

11

Interpretation of the test

Here, \(F < {F_{\left( {2,27} \right)}}\), the null hypothesis fails to reject. So, there is enough t evidence to support the claim that females in different age brackets give attributes with the same means. Thus, it can be said that age does not appear to be a factor in the female attribute ratings.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Estimating Length Using the same results displayed in Exercise 8, does it appear that the length estimates are affected by the subject鈥檚 major?

In Exercises 5鈥8, use the following two control charts that result from testing batches of newly manufactured aircraft altimeters, with 100 in each batch. The original sample values are errors (in feet) obtained when the altimeters are tested in a pressure chamber that simulates an altitude of 6000 ft. The Federal Aviation Administration requires an error of no more than 40 ft at that altitude.

Is the process variation within statistical control? Why or why not?

Flight Departure Delays Listed below are departure delay times (minutes) for American Airlines flights from New York to Los Angeles. Negative values correspond to flights that departed early.
