Explanation / Answer

(A) Calculate the grand mean

XGM = (25.6 + 23.0 + 21.0)/3 = 23.2

(B) SSTR = 3 * (25.6 - 23.2)2 + 3 * (23.0 - 23.2)2 + 3 * (21.0 - 23.2)2 = 53.2

MSTR = 53.2/ 2 = 26.6

(C) SSE = (5 -1) * 16.3 + (5 - 1) * 28.0 + (5 - 1) * 16.0= 241.2

dF = 5+ 5 + 5 - 3 = 12

MSE = 241.2/12 = 20.1

(D) Option A is correct.

(E) F (df1,df2) = (2,12)

F statistic = 26.6/20.1 = 1.32

F(Critical) = 6.92

(F) Donot reject H0 . since the test statistic does not exceed 6.93.
