Part (a)
i) Test statistic
= SSA/SSE
= 30.9/59.2
= 0.52 Answer 1
ii) p-value
= P(F4, 12 > 0.5220)
= 0.7216 First Option Answer 2
iii) Since p-value is very high (greater than any conceivable significance level), the null hypothesis of no difference in effect is accepted.
Hence Third Option Answer 3
Part (b)
Test statistic
= SSB/SSE
= 44.3/59.2
= 0.75 Answer 4
DONE
[Going beyond, (b) Part’s natural continuation
p-value
= P(F3, 12 > 0.7483)
= 0.5439
Conclusion: Since p-value is very high (greater than any conceivable significance level), the null hypothesis of no difference in effect is accepted.

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of species (factor A, with I = 4) and grade (factor B, with J = 3) on breaking strength of wood specimens. One observation was made for each species—grade combination—resulting in SSA = 445.0, SSB = 429.6, and SSE = 124.4. Assume that an additive model is appropriate. (a) Test H0: α1 = α2 = α3 = α4 = 0 (no differences in true average strength due to species) versus Ha:...
(2 points) Some car tires can develop what is known as "heel and toe" wear if not rotated after a certain mileage. To assess this issue, a consumer group investigated the tire wear on two brands of tire, A and B, say. Fifteen cars were fitted with new brand A tires and thirteen with brand B tires, the cars assigned to brand at random. (Two cars initially assigned to brand B suffered serious tire faults other than heel and toe...
