Friedmanns Test Statisitical Computation

This document describes a study that evaluated bread samples fortified with different percentages of Leaf Protein Concentrate (LPC) using a panel of 10 people. The panelists ranked samples containing 0%, 2%, and 4% LPC on a scale of 1-8. A Friedman's test was used to determine if there were significant differences in acceptability between the samples. The results of the test calculations show that the calculated value of 94.50 is greater than the tabular values, so the null hypothesis that there is no difference between samples is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis that there are differences between samples.

FRIEDMANN’S TEST COMPUTATION

Consider a study involving the determination of the acceptability of bread fortified with Leaf Protein Concentrate
(LPC). Ten (10) panellists are asked to evaluate bread containing 0%, 2%, and 4% LPC. They ranked the samples using a
scale of 1-8 where 1 stands for the least liked and 8 for the most liked sample as presented in the Table 1 below:

Table 1. Obtained data from the panelists in evaluating the bread samples fortified with different leaf protein concentrates.
Block A B C A B C
(Panelist) 0% LPC 2% LPC 4% LPC Rank (Rank)2 Rank (Rank)2 Rank (Rank)2
1 8 7 5 3 9 2 4 1 1
2 7 5 6 3 9 1 1 2 4
3 6 3 4 3 9 1 1 2 4
4 6 4 5 3 9 1 1 3 9
5 5 5 3 2.50 6.25 2.50 6.25 1 1
6 7 5 4 3 9 2 4 1 1
7 8 7 5 3 9 2 4 1 1
8 6 6 6 2 4 2 4 2 4
9 5 8 4 2 4 3 9 1 1
10 7 6 3 3 9 3 9 1 1
Summation Total ∑(RA) = ∑(RA) = ∑(RB) = ∑(RB)2 = ∑(RC) = ∑(RC)2 =
27.50 77.25 19.50 43.25 14.00 27.00
Mean 2.75 1.85 1.40

1. State the Null hypothesis: The samples come from populations with the same distribution.
There is no significant difference between the acceptability of the samples.

2. State the Alternative hypothesis: The samples come from populations with different distributions.
There is a significant difference between the acceptability of the samples.

3. Compute S: Using the values of the Table 1

RTOTAL = RA + RB + Rc S = [ (RA)2 + (RB)2 + (RC)2 ] - [ (RTOTAL)2 ]


= 27.50 + 19.50 + 14.00 3
= 60.00 = [(27.50) + (19.50) + (14.00) ] – [(60.00)2]
2 2 2

3
= [1,294.50] – [3600/3]

= [1,294.50] – [1,200.00]

SCALCULATED = 94.50

4. Find the STABULAR value at α 0.05 and 0.01


The formula is: df = (c-1) (r-1) STABULATED = 28.869 at 0.05 and 34.805 at 0.01 levels of significance.
= (3-1) (10-1)
= (2) (9)
=18

5. Formulate and interpret the conclusion:

Since the S calculated value of 94.50 is greater than its tabular value of 28.869 and 34.805 at 0.05 and 0.01 levels of significance,
respectively, reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis.

The samples come from populations with different distributions. Hence, there is a significant difference between the acceptability
of the samples.
