1. Three varieties of cowpeas were grown in pots arranged in a completely randomized design. The dry
matter yields are given in the table below. Perform the analysis of variance, and test the hypothesis at
the 0.05 level of significance that the mean dry matter is the same for all three varieties.

Solution:
1. 𝐻𝑜 : 𝜇1 = 𝜇2 = 𝜇3 = 𝜇4 = 𝜇5 = 𝜇6

2. At 𝛼 = 0.05, do an F-test.
3. Test statistics 𝐹𝑐 : (MSTr/MSE)
4. Decision Rule/Critical region: Reject 𝐻𝑜 if 𝐹𝑐 >3.68. Otherwise, do not reject 𝐻𝑜 .
5. Computation:

SSE = 205.6111 − 192.4444 = 13.1667

These results and the remaining computations are exhibited in Table 2.

6. Decision: Since 𝐹𝑐 = 109.62025 > 𝐹0.05 (2,15) = 3.68, 𝑤𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑦ℎ𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠.

 2. A food technology researcher wants to compare the TSS value of the three flavored juices arranged in
a completely randomized design. The TSS value are given in the table below. Perform the analysis of
variance, and test the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance that the mean TSS is the same for all
three treatments.

6. Decision: Since 𝐹𝑐 = 0.08099 < 𝐹0.05(2,15) = 3.68, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
7. Conclusion: Therefore, the mean TSS is the same for all the treatments.
