ANOVA Sample Assignment
ANOVA Sample Assignment
Consider the following (small integers, indeed for illustration while saving space) random
samples from three different populations.
At the significance level = 0.05, the critical value from F-table is
F 0.05, 2, 12 = 3.89.
Sum Mean
Sample P1 2 3 1 3 1 10
Sample P2 3 4 3 5 0 15
Sample P3 5 5 5 3 2 20
ANS:-
Computation of sample SST: With the grand mean = 3, first, start with taking the difference
between each observation and the grand mean, and then square it for each data point.
Sum
Sample P1 1 0 4 0 4 9
Sample P2 0 1 0 4 9 14
Sample P3 4 4 4 0 1 13
Second, let all the data in each sample have the same value as the mean in that sample. This
removes any variation WITHIN. Compute SS differences from the grand mean.
Sum
Sample P1 1 1 1 1 1 5
Sample P2 0 0 0 0 0 0
Sample P3 1 1 1 1 1 5
Therefore SSB = 10, with d.f = (m-1)= 3-1 = 2 for m=3 groups.
Sum
Sample P1 0 1 1 1 1 4
Sample P2 0 1 0 4 9 14
Sample P3 1 1 1 1 4 8
SSW = 26 with d.f = 3(5-1) = 12. That is, 3 groups times (5 observations in each -1)
Results are: SST = SSB + SSW, and d.fSST = d.fSSB + d.fSSW, as expected.
Now, construct the ANOVA table for this numerical example by plugging the results of your
computation in the ANOVA Table. Note that, the Mean Squares are the Sum of squares divided
by their Degrees of Freedom. F-statistics is the ratio of the two Mean Squares.
