Question

The he prices (in dollars) for 16 randomly selected automobile batteries are shown in the table. The prices are classified according to battery type. At the 5% significance level, is there enough evidence to conclude that at least one of the mean battery prices is different from the others? Assume that each population of battery types is normally distributed and that the population variances are equal.

Please show how to obtain the answer from a TI-84 Plus calculator test. Explain why we use that specific test. List the p-value.

Also, explain whether we reject or fail to reject based on the probability.

Type A 65 75 64 50 Type B 83 63 65 63 85 65 Type C 89 84 75 90 70 60

Explanation / Answer

H0:There is no significent difference between means of three groups

Ha:There is a significent difference between means of three groups

alpha:5%

Test statistic:

F cal= 2.15

P value=0.156

Conclsison: P>0.05, we don not reject the H0. Hence claim is not significant
