Business statistics II

Family transportation costs include car payments, insurance, fuel costs, repairs, parking and public transportation. 5 families were randomly selected in 4 cities and asked to approximate their monthly transportation costs. Results are recorded in the table below. Atlanta New York Los Angeles Chicago $630 $250 $630 $340 480 523 180 450 330 400 530 675 600 275 400 350 673 500 375 400 Use Microsoft Excel to conduct an ANOVA to determine whether there are significant differences in the mean monthly family transportation costs in the 4 cities. Use = 0.05.

State the hypothesis test Ho: 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = 450 Ho: = 450 Ha: # 450 QUESTION 2 What is your level of significance, the highest probability that you will incorrectly conclude that significant differences exist? QUESTION 3 From your results of the Single Factor ANOVA you conducted in Excel, state the p-value QUESTION 4 From your results of the Single Factor ANOVA you conducted in Excel, state the Fstat (test statistic) QUESTION 5 From your results of the Single Factor ANOVA you conducted in Excel, state the Fcrit (critical value) QUESTION 6 When drawing a conclusion after applying an ANOVA test, if p

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

H0 : 1 = 2 = 3 = 4

Ha : 1 2 ,1 3 , 1 4 , 2 3 , 2 4 , 3 4

OPtion C is correct.

Question 2

Level of significance = 0.05

Question 3

THe ANOVA analysis

p- value = 0.3986

Question 4

Fstat = 1.0476

Question 5

Fcritical = 3.2389

Question 6

if p value is less than alpha than we reject the null hypothesis and can say that difference exists between different population means. Both of the options are correct.
