1. The following table shows the lives in hours of four batches of electric lamps;
a) 1600 1610 1650 1680 1700 1720 1800
b) 1580 1640 1640 1700 1750
c) 1460 1550 1600 1620 1640 1660 1740 1820
d) 1510 1520 1530 1570 1600 1680
Analyze the data and give your conclusion to test the average lives between the four batches are
the same.
Solution:- The above data is taken for four batches of electric lamp. We test whether the data are
the same on average for the four batches or not. Formally, we test the null hypothesis that the
average records for the four batches are the same. Therefore A One way ANOVA is the standard
procedure for testing this null hypothesis. We use a one way anova because electric lamp lives
are recorded for four batches which the dependent variable are one and the test wants to be done
and check between these four batches of lamp.
H0: µa = µb = µc = µd, that means there is no any difference between the lives of the four batches
electric lamp a, b, c and d.
H1: µa = µb = µc ≠ µd, that means there is at least one difference between the lives of the four
batches.
Therefore to test these data we have used SPSS software and get the following tables as shown.
ANOVA
lives
Sum of Squares Df Mean Square F Sig.
From the above table, the data is insignificant means there is no a difference between the four
batches of electric lamp since the sig. value is .123 which is greater than 0.05 using 95%
confidence interval therefore we accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternative
hypothesis.. Generally the lives of the four batches of electric lamp are statistically same or no
difference between groups.
2. The following table gives quality rating of service stations by five professional raters;
Rater 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
A 99 70 90 99 65 85 75 70 85 92
B 96 65 80 95 70 88 70 51 84 91
C 95 60 48 87 48 75 71 93 80 93
D 98 65 70 95 67 82 73 94 86 80
E 97 65 62 99 60 80 76 92 90 89
Analize the data and discuss whether there is any significant difference between raters or
Between services.
Solution:- The above data is taken for quality rating of service stations by five professional
raters. We test whether the data are the same between raters or services and not same between
them . Formally, we test the null hypothesis that the quality records for the five professional
raters or services are the same. Therefore a Two way ANOVA is the standard procedure for
testing this null hypothesis. We use a two way anova because quality rating are recorded for five
professionals and ten different services means two factors.
H0: µa = µb = µc = µd = µe, that means there is no any difference between the raters of the five
professionals A, B, C D and E.
H1: µa = µb = µc = µd ≠ µe, that means there is at least one difference between the five professional
raters.
Therefore to test these data we have used SPSS software and get the following tables as shown.
Whereas for services, the data is significant means there is quality difference between the ten
services given for each raters so we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative
hypothesis. Therefore we proceed to post hock to check the difference between each services.

3. The following table gives the results of an experiment for comparing 7 treatments/level in 7
blocks of 3 units each, there thus being 3 replications of each treatment. Analyse the data.
Block 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Treatment
1 50 42 91 - - - -
2 - - 118 94 94 - -
3 76 - - 64 - 80 -
4 - - 72 - - 53 31
5 44 - - - 65 - 54
6 - 102 - - 119 92 -
7 - 38 - 38 - - 37
Solution:- The above data is taken from results of an experiment. We test whether the data are
the same between treatments or blocks and not same between them. So, we test the null
hypothesis that the result recorded for the seven treatments or blocks are the same. Therefore a
Two way ANOVA is the standard procedure for testing this null hypothesis. We use randomized
block design for analysis two ways anova because results are recorded seven blocks and seven
treatments means two factors.
H1: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 = µ5 = µ6 ≠ µ7, that means there is at least one difference between treatments.
H1: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 = µ5 = µ6 ≠ µ7, that means there is at least one difference between blocks.
Therefore to test these data we have used SPSS software and get the following tables as shown.

4. The following table gives 4 different brands of cars for analysing suitable average speed and the
speeds were 25, 35, 50, 60, and 70 mph. For each car, the number of miles covered per gallon of
petrol was observed. Hence, determine whether or not the average miles covered per gallon of
petro are the same.

5. Assume that there are two, companies producing cement for construction centre. Random
samples were taken monthly for the first ten consecutive months to compare which company
was delivering more cement for the sector. The following table contains the random samples
of cements in quintal taken at two different companies.
