t-test and draw the conclusion using = 0.05.
2. An experimenter has conducted a single-factor experiment with six levels of the factor,
and each factor level has been replicated three times. The computed value of the F-
statistic is F0 = 4.89. Find bounds on the P-value.
3. An experimenter has conducted a single-factor experiment with four levels of the factor,
and each factor level has been replicated six times. The computed value of the F-statistic
is F0 = 4.02. Find bounds on the P-value.
4. A computer ANOVA output is shown below. Fill in the blanks. You may give bounds
on the P-value.
