In a completely randomized experimental design, three brands of paper towels were tested for their ability to absorb water. Equa

l-size towels were used, with four sections of towels tested per brand. The absorbency rating data follow. At a level of significance, does there appear to be a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water?

Answer:

Yes. At this significance level, there is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete:</em>

<em>The significance level is 0.05.</em>

<em>The data is:</em>

<em>Brand X: 91, 100, 88, 89</em>

<em>Brand Y: 99, 96, 94, 99</em>

<em>Brand Z: 83, 88, 89, 76</em>

We have to check if there is a significant difference between the absorbency rating of each brand.

Null hypothesis: all means are equal

H_0:\mu_x=\mu_y=\mu_z

Alternative hypothesis: the means are not equal

H_a: \mu_x\neq\mu_y\neq\mu_z

We have to apply a one-way ANOVA

We start by calculating the standard deviation for each brand:

s_x^2=30,\,\,s_y^2=6,\,\,s_z^2=35.33

Then, we calculate the mean standard error (MSE):

MSE=(\sum s_i^2)/a=(30+6+35.33)/3=71.33/3=23.78

Now, we calculate the mean square between (MSB), but we previously have to know the sample means and the mean of the sample means:

M_x=92,\,\,M_y=97,\,\,M_z=84\\\\M=(92+97+84)/3=91

The MSB is then:

s^2=\dfrac{\sum(M_i-M)^2}{N-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{(92-91)^2+(97-91)^2+(84-91)^2}{3-1}\\\\\\s^2=\dfrac{1+36+49}{2}=\dfrac{86}{2}=43\\\\\\\\MSB=ns^2=4*43=172

Now we calculate the F statistic as:

F=MSB/MSE=172/23.78=7.23

The degrees of freedom of the numerator are:

dfn=a-1=3-1=2

The degrees of freedom of the denominator are:

dfd=N-a=3*4-3=12-3=9

The P-value of F=7.23, dfn=2 and dfd=9 is:

P-value=P(F>7.23)=0.01342

As the P-value (0.013) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected.

There is evidence to support the claim that there is a difference in the ability of the brands to absorb water.

The white Christmas tree is 7.55m tall.the green Christmas tree is twice as tall as the white Christmas tree which is 0.454m tal
Alja [10]

The white Christmas tree is 7.55m

Green Christmas tree is twice as tall as white Christmas tree: 7.55 * 2 = 15.1m

High golden Christmas tree: 15.1m - 0.454m = 14.646m

The total height of 3 Christmas trees is: 7.55m + 15.1m + 14.646m = 37.296m

Choose: A 37.296m
