b) What is the value of B in the ANOVA table? Give your answer to three decimal places.  

c) What is the value of C in the ANOVA table? Give your answer to four decimal places.

d) Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is the critical point compared to the F statistic in order to make a conclusion? Give your answer to four decimal places.

e) Using a 0.05 level of significance, what conclusion should the company reach?

     Reject the hypothesis that all brands have the same mean mileage.
     
Reject the hypothesis that one brand has a different mean mileage than the other brands.

Source DF SS MS F Treatment 2 10.289 5.1445 5.682647 Error 19 17.2 C Total 21 B

Explanation / Answer

a) How many brands of tires did the company compare?   
it compared the 2+1 = 3 treatments

b) What is the value of B in the ANOVA table? Give your answer to three decimal places.
S.S.Total = S.S.E+ S.S.T = 10.289 + 17.2 = 27.489

c) What is the value of C in the ANOVA table? Give your answer to four decimal places.
M.S.E = S.S.Error/n-k = 17.2/19 = 0.9052

d) Using a 0.05 level of significance, what is the critical point compared to the F statistic in order to make a conclusion? Give your answer to four decimal places.
                      
   F Cal = MS Between / Ms Within =    5.682647                      
   We got |F cal| =    5.682647 & |F Crit| =3.5218                      
                          
MAKE DECISION                          
   Hence Value of |F cal| > |F Crit|and Here We Reject Ho                      


e) Using a 0.05 level of significance, what conclusion should the company reach?

Reject the hypothesis that one brand has a different mean mileage than the other brands.
