Suppose the salinity of water samples taken from 3 new and separate sites in the Bimini Lagoon was measured with the results given below:

Site 1: 51.94 51.95 57.02 52.47 49.50 47.23 43.78 51.97 52.23
Site 2: 59.47 59.48 64.47 59.99 57.07 54.83 51.43 59.50
Site 3: 50.61 50.63 55.80 51.16 48.13 45.81 42.28 50.65 50.91

Basic Statistics for the 3 samples:

Level N Mean SD
1 9 50.90 3.73
2 8 58.28 3.89
3 9 49.55 3.81

One-way ANOVA output:

Source DF SS MS F P
Factor 2 367.55 183.78 12.68 0.0002
Error 23 333.36 14.49
Total 25 700.91

Using the data above, construct simultaneous (1−α*)100% confidence intervals for the pairwise differences in means using the Bonferroni procedure. Use an overall experiment-wide α = 0.05.

What is the value of α*? Answer: 0.0167

The critical t-value has a student's t distribution with how many degress of freedom? Answer: 23

What is the critcal t-value? Answer: 2.5820

1. Calculate the confidence interval for the difference in means for Levels 1 and 2, i.e., μ1−μ2.

2. What is your conclusion about the relative size of the means for Levels 1 and 2?
μ1 ≤ μ2
μ1 ≠ μ2
μ1 = μ2
μ1 > μ2

3. Calculate the confidence interval for the difference in means for Levels 1 and 3, i.e., μ1−μ3.

4. What is your conclusion about the relative size of the means for Levels 1 and 3?
μ1 = μ3
μ1 ≠ μ3
μ1 > μ3
μ1 < μ3

5. Calculate the confidence interval for the difference in means for Levels 2 and 3, i.e., μ2−μ3

6. What is your conclusion about the relative size of the means for Levels 2 and 3?
μ2 ≠ μ3
μ2 > μ3
μ2 ≤ μ3
μ2 = μ3
