Q1) A random sample of heights (in feet) of mountain peaks in three states is listed. Using the 0.05
level of significance, test the claim that the mean height is the same for all three states.

14,163 14,197 14,058

14,067 14,027

Solution:
Step 1 State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3
H1: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3

Step 2 Find the critical value.

K = 3, N = 17, and α = 0.05
d.f N= k – 1= 3 – 1 = 2
d.f D= N – k= 17 – 3= 14
The critical value is 3.74.

Step 3 Compute the test value.

(a) Find the mean and variance of each sample (it given in data table below)

F = S2W = 515,566.0214

F = 6.73

Step 4
Make the decision. Since 6.73 ≤ 3.74, therefore we accept alternate hypothesis and reject null
hypothesis.

Step 5
Summarize the results. There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference
among the means.
Q2) Random samples of population ( in thousands ) of U.S. cities in three sections of the country
are listed. Is there evidence to conclude a difference in means at the 0.01 level of significance?

Solution:
Step 1 State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3
H1: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3

Step 2 Find the critical value.

K = 3, N = 22, and α = 0.01
d.f N= k – 1= 3 – 1 = 2
d.f D= N – k= 22 – 3= 19
The critical value is 5.93.

F = 0.36
Step 4
Make the decision. Since 0.36 ≥ 5.93, the decision is to accept the null hypothesis.

Step 5
Summarize the results. There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference
among the means.
