Short Answer

Expert verified
The exact p-values cannot be calculated without an F-distribution table or technology, but following these steps you will be able to find the p-values for each scenario.

Step by step solution

01

Scenario a

Given \(k=5\) and all \(n_{i}=4\), we have total observations \(N=5*4=20\), degrees of freedom \(df1=k-1=5-1=4\) and \(df2=N-k=20-5=15\). With \(F=5.37\), using the F-distribution table or technology to lookup the p-value, we can find the p-value for scenario a.
02

Scenario b

Given \(k=5\), \(n_{1}=n_{2}=n_{3}=5\) and \(n_{4}=n_{5}=4\), we have total observations \(N=5*5+2*4=29\), degrees of freedom are \(df1=5-1=4\) and \(df2=29-5=24\). With \(F=2.83\), we can then find the p-value for scenario b.
03

Scenario c

Given \(k=3\), \(n_{1}=4\), \(n_{2}=5\), and \(n_{3}=6\), we have total observations \(N=4+5+6=15\), degrees of freedom are \(df1=3-1=2\) and \(df2=15-3=12\). With \(F=5.02\), we can then find the p-value for scenario c.
04

Scenario d

Given \(k=3\), \(n_{1}=n_{2}=4\), and \(n_{3}=6\), we have total observations \(N=2*4+6=14\), degrees of freedom are \(df1=3-1=2\) and \(df2=14-3=11\). With \(F=15.90\), we can then find the p-value for scenario d.
05

Scenario e

Given \(k=4\), \(n_{1}=n_{2}=15\), \(n_{3}=12\), and \(n_{4}=10\), we have total observations \(N=2*15+12+10=52\), degrees of freedom are \(df1=4-1=3\) and \(df2=52-4=48\). With \(F=1.75\), we can then find the p-value for scenario e.

Give as much information as you can about the \(P\) -value for an upper-tailed \(F\) test in each of the following situations. a. \(\mathrm{df}_{\mathrm{l}}=4, \mathrm{df}_{2}=15, F=5.37\) b. \(\mathrm{df}_{1}=4, \mathrm{df}_{2}=15, F=1.90\) c. \(\mathrm{df}_{1}=4, \mathrm{df}_{2}=15, F=4.89\) d. \(\mathrm{df}_{1}=3, \mathrm{df}_{2}=20, F=14.48\) e. \(\mathrm{df}_{1}=3, \mathrm{df}_{2}=20, F=2.69\) f. \(\mathrm{df}_{1}=4, \mathrm{df}_{2}=50, F=3.24\)

The nutritional quality of shrubs commonly used for feed by rabbits was the focus of a study summarized in the article "Estimation of Browse by Size Classes for Snowshoe Hare" (Journal of Wildlife Management [1980]: \(34-40\) ). The energy content (cal/g) of three sizes \((4 \mathrm{~mm}\) or less, \(5-7 \mathrm{~mm}\), and \(8-10 \mathrm{~mm}\) ) of serviceberries was studied. Let \(\mu_{1}, \mu_{2}\), and \(\mu_{3}\) denote the true energy content for the three size classes. Suppose that \(95 \%\) simultaneous confidence intervals for \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}, \mu_{1}-\mu_{3}\), and \(\mu_{2}-\mu_{3}\) are \((-10,290),(150,450)\), and \((10,310)\), respectively. How would you interpret these intervals?

The article "The Soundtrack of Recklessness: Musical Preferences and Reckless Behavior Among Adolescents" (Journal of Adolescent Research [1992]: \(313-331\) ) described a study whose purpose was to determine whether adolescents who preferred certain types of music reported higher rates of reckless behaviors, such as speeding, drug use, shoplifting, and unprotected sex. Independently chosen random samples were selected from each of four groups of students with different musical preferences at a large high school: (1) acoustic/pop, (2) mainstream rock, (3) hard rock, and (4) heavy metal. Each student in these samples was asked how many times he or she had engaged in various reckless activities during the last year. The following table lists data and summary quantities on driving over \(80 \mathrm{mph}\) that is consistent with summary quantities given in the article (the sample sizes in the article were much larger, but for the purposes of this exercise, we use \(\left.n_{1}=n_{2}=n_{3}=n_{4}=20\right)\) : Also, \(N=80\), grand total \(=230.0\), and \(\overline{\bar{x}}=230.0 / 80=\) 2.875. Carry out an \(F\) test to determine if these data provide convincing evidence that the true mean number of times driving over \(80 \mathrm{mph}\) varies with musical preference.

An investigation carried out to study the toxic effects of mercury was described in the article "Comparative Responses of the Action of Different Mercury Compounds on Barley" (International Journal of Environmental Studies [1983]: 323-327). Ten different concentrations of mercury \((0,1,5,10,50,100,200,300,400\), and \(500 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L})\) were compared with respect to their effects on average dry weight (per 100 seven-day-old seedlings). The basic experiment was replicated four times for a total of 40 dryweight observations (four for each treatment level). The article reported an ANOVA \(F\) statistic value of \(1.895 .\) Using a significance level of \(.05\), test the null hypothesis that the true mean dry weight is the same for all 10 concentration levels.

The article "Utilizing Feedback and Goal Setting to Increase Performance Skills of Managers" (Academy of \mathrm{\\{} M a n a g e m e n t ~ J o u r n a l ~ \([1979]: 516-526\) ) reported the re- sults of an experiment to compare three different interviewing techniques for employee evaluations. One method allowed the employee being evaluated to discuss previous evaluations, the second involved setting goals for the employee, and the third did not allow either feedback or goal setting. After the interviews were concluded, the evaluated employee was asked to indicate how satisfied he or she was with the interview. (A numerical scale was used to quantify level of satisfaction.) The authors used ANOVA to compare the three interview techniques. An \(F\) statistic value of \(4.12\) was reported. a. Suppose that a total of 33 subjects were used, with each technique applied to 11 of them. Use this information to conduct a level \(.05\) test of the null hypothesis of no difference in mean satisfaction level for the three interview techniques. b. The actual number of subjects on which cach technique was used was \(45 .\) After studying the \(F\) table, cxplain why the conclusion in Part (a) still holds.
