Three different methods for assembling a product were proposed by an industrial engineer. To investigate the number of units assembled correctly with each method, 30 employees were randomly selected and randomly assigned to the three proposed methods in such a way that each method was used by 10 workers. The number of units assembled correctly was recorded, and the analysis of variance procedure was applied to the resulting data set. The following results were obtained: SST = 10,800; SSTR = 4560.
Set up the ANOVA table for this problem (to 2 decimals, if necessary).

Sagot :

Given :

Number of methods, k = 3

Number of the observations, n = 30

Degrees of freedom Treatment = k - 1

                                                     = 3 - 1 = 2

Degrees of freedom for error = n - k

                                                 = 30 - 3 = 27

[tex]$SSTR = 4560, \ SST = 10800$[/tex]

[tex]$SSE = SST - SSTR$[/tex]

       = 10800 - 4560

       = 6240

[tex]$SSE_{treatment} = MS_{treatment } \times DF_{treatment}$[/tex]

[tex]$MS_{treatment} = \frac{4560}{2}=2280$[/tex]

[tex]$MS_{error}=\frac{SSE_{error}}{DF_{error}}$[/tex]

             [tex]$=\frac{6240}{27}=231.1$[/tex]

[tex]$F=\frac{MS_{treatment}}{MS_{error}}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{2280}{231.1}=9.865$[/tex]

The critical value of F for the 0.05 sig level and df (227) is 3.354

Since the test stat > critical value of F, so we reject null hypothesis and state that there is a significant difference in the means of the three assembly methods.
