Csf21103: Probability and Statistical Data Analysis Tutorial 9: Analysis of Variance

The document discusses analysis of variance (ANOVA), including comparing means of three or more groups, calculating degrees of freedom, interpreting ANOVA summary tables, and conducting post-hoc tests like Scheffe and Tukey tests to compare specific group means. Key terms mentioned include between-group variance, one-way ANOVA, and using Tukey tests for pairwise comparisons when groups have equal sample sizes.

CSF21103: PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS

Tutorial 9: Analysis of Variance

1. An F-test can be used to compare the ______________ of three or more means.

2. When finding the degrees of freedom for the F-distribution, d. f. N is equal to one less than
the number of ______________.

3. A portion of an ANOVA summary table is shown below

Source Sum of Squares Degrees of Freedom


Between 16 3
Within (error) 40 30
Total 56

The critical value for this problem should have dfN (degrees of freedom in the numerator) and
dfD (degrees of freedom in the denominator) of ______________.

4. In the Scheffe test, if ̅ = 5 for a group size = 7, ̅ = 12 for a group size = 7, and the
within-group variance = 14, then the test value for comparing these two groups is equal
to ______________.

5. In the Tukey test, if ̅ = 8 for a group size = 7, ̅ = 13 for a group size = 7, and the
within-group variance = 21, then the test value for comparing group 2 to group 4 is
______________.
6. For three groups, the F-test can show whether or not a difference exists among
______________ means and where the difference lies.

7. If there are 5 means to be compared, then how many possible different comparisons (such as
̅ compared to ̅ ) are there altogether?

8. The ______________ variance is made by computing the variance using all the data and is
not affected by differences in the means.

9. When there is one independent variable, the analysis of variance is called a ______________
ANOVA.

10. A researcher calculated the ANOVA summary table for an experiment, but accidentally
spilled grape juice over the first line of the output. From the data below, calculate the F test
value.

Source Sum of Squares Degrees of Freedom Mean Square F


Between
Within (error) 171 48 3.56
Total 228 55

11. A researcher is comparing 6 groups to test if they have the same means. There are 53 data
values altogether. The degrees of freedom for the Between (dfB) and the degrees of freedom
for the Within (dfW) are ______________.
12. A diet centre wanted to test three different methods for losing weight to determine if the
average weight loss (reported in pounds/week) for each method is the same. The results for
the three methods are tabulated below.

a) At   0.05, test the claim that there is no difference among the three methods.

Liquid Diet (A) Low-Calorie Diet (B) Low- Calorie Diet and
Exercise (C)
2 2 6
4 4 5
1 3 3
1 5 6
3 5 5
b) From your answer in (a), use the Tukey test to determine if there is a significant
difference between each pair of methods, if any. Let   0.05.

13. The ______________ test can be used after the analysis of variance has been completed to
make pairwise comparisons between means when groups have the same sample size.
