A researcher wants to know if there is a difference between the mean amount of sleep that people get for various types of employment status. The table below shows data that was collected from a survey.
Assume that all distributions are normal, the three population standard deviations are all the same, and the data was collected independently and randomly. Use a level of significance of
1. For this study, we should use Select an answer
2. The test-statistic for this data
3. The
4. The p-value is Select an answer
5. Base on this, we should Select an answer
6. As such, the final conclusion is that... hypothesis
There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that employment status is a factor in the amount of sleep people get.
There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that employment status is a factor in the amount of sleep people get.
Step 1 :Calculate the means of each group: For Part Time Workers:
Step 2 :Calculate the total mean:
Step 3 :Calculate the sum of squares between groups (SSB):
Step 4 :Calculate the sum of squares within groups (SSW):
Step 5 :Calculate the total sum of squares (SST): SSB + SSW = 3.717 + 18.889 = 22.606
Step 6 :Calculate the degrees of freedom for between groups (dfB): number of groups - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2
Step 7 :Calculate the degrees of freedom within groups (dfW): total number of values - number of groups = 25 - 3 = 22
Step 8 :Calculate the total degrees of freedom (dfT): dfB + dfW = 2 + 22 = 24
Step 9 :Calculate the mean squares between groups (MSB): SSB / dfB = 3.717 / 2 = 1.859
Step 10 :Calculate the mean squares within groups (MSW): SSW / dfW = 18.889 / 22 = 0.859
Step 11 :Calculate the test statistic (F): MSB / MSW = 1.859 / 0.859 = 2.165
Step 12 :Find the p-value associated with this F statistic and dfB and dfW. Using a F-distribution table or a statistical software, we find: The p-value for this sample = 0.1356
Step 13 :The p-value is greater than
Step 14 :Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than
Step 15 :
