PLEASE HELP this is for a quiz please be accurate

For each of the following situations, give the degrees of freedom for the group (DFG), for error (DFE), and for the total (DFT). State the null and alternative hypotheses, H0and Ha, and give the numerator and denominator degrees of freedom for the F statistic.

(a) A poultry farmer is interested in reducing the cholesterol level in his marketable eggs. He wants to compare two different cholesterol-lowering drugs added to the hen's standard diet as well as an all-vegetarian diet. He assigns 40 of his hens to each of the three treatments.

H0 (multiple choice):

a. At least one group has a different mean cholesterol level.

b. The all-vegetarian diet group has a lower mean cholesterol level.    

c. The all-vegetarian diet group has a higher mean cholesterol level.

d. All groups have different mean cholesterol levels.

e. All groups have the same mean cholesterol level.

Ha(multiple choice):

a. All groups have different mean cholesterol levels.

b. The all-vegetarian diet group has a higher mean cholesterol level.    

c. The all-vegetarian diet group has a lower mean cholesterol level.

d. All groups have the same mean cholesterol level.

e. At least one group has a different mean cholesterol level.

(b) A researcher is interested in students' opinions regarding an additional annual fee to support non-income-producing varsity sports. Students were asked to rate their acceptance of this fee on a seven-point scale. She received 96 responses, of which 31 were from students who attend varsity football or basketball games only, 15 were from students who also attend other varsity competitions, and 50 who did not attend any varsity games.

H0(multiple choice):

a. The group of students who do not attend games has a lower mean rating.

b. At least one group has a different mean rating.   

c. All groups have the same mean rating.All groups have different mean ratings.

d. The group of students who do not attend games has a higher mean rating.

Ha(multiple choice):

a. All groups have the same mean rating.

b. The group of students who do not attend games has a higher mean rating.    

c. At least one group has a different mean rating.

d. The group of students who do not attend games has a lower mean rating.

e. All groups have different mean ratings.

(c) A professor wants to evaluate the effectiveness of his teaching assistants. In one class period, the 45 students were randomly divided into three equal-sized groups, and each group was taught power calculations from one of the assistants. At the beginning of the next class, each student took a quiz on power calculations, and these scores were compared.

H0(multiple choice):

a. The group taught by the oldest TA has a higher mean quiz score.All groups have the same mean quiz score.   

b. All groups have different mean quiz scores.

c. The group taught by the oldest TA has a lower mean quiz score.

d. At least one group has a different mean quiz score.

Ha(multiple choice):

All groups have the same mean quiz score.

a. The group taught by the oldest TA has a higher mean quiz score.    

b. The group taught by the oldest TA has a lower mean quiz score

c. At least one group has a different mean quiz score.

d. All groups have different mean quiz scores.

Explanation / Answer

a) DFG =number of groups-1=k-1=3-1=2

DFE =N-k=40-3=37

DFT =N-1 =40-1=39

Ho:. All groups have the same mean cholesterol level.

Ha: At least one group has a different mean cholesterol level.

numerator df: =2

denominator df: =37

b)

DFG =number of groups-1=k-1=3-1=2

DFE =N-k=96-3=93

DFT =N-1 =96-1=95

Ho:.   All groups have the same mean rating

Ha: At least one group has a different mean rating.

numerator df: =2

denominator df: =93

c)

DFG =number of groups-1=k-1=3-1=2

DFE =N-k=45-3=42

DFT =N-1 =45-1=44

Ho:. All groups have the same mean quiz score

Ha: c. At least one group has a different mean quiz score.

numerator df: =2

denominator df: =42
