NUMERICAL PROBLEM

ONE WAY
CLASSIFICATION
Four thermometers leveled as 1,2,3,4 were used to determine
melting point of hydrquinone. Test at 5% level of significance
of hypothesis that there is no significant variation in the
means of the input as determined by the four thermometers.
Conduct the analysis and draw the conclusions

Step 1:-
General expression
Temperature = f(thermometer)

yi     i   i
Where,
yi= Response at ith level of factor A
µ= Grand mean
αi= Differential effect of ith level of factor A on response
εi= Error i) Independent
ii) Normal distribution
iii) Random
Step 2:-
Test of significance
• Null Hypothesis
There is no variation present among the factor,
i.e. thermometer
1   2   3   4  0
• Alternate Hypothesis
There is no variation present among the factor,
i.e. thermometer
1   2   3   4  0
Step 3:-
Level of significance = 0.05
