Student Learning Outcome:

  • The student will conduct a simple ANOVA test involving three variables.

Collect the Data

Record the price per pound of 8 fruits, 8 vegetables, and 8 breads in your local supermarket.

  1. Record the price per pound of 8 fruits, 8 vegetables, and 8 breads in your local supermarket.
    Table 1
    Fruits Vegetables Breads
         
         
         
         
         
         
         
         
  2. Explain how you could try to collect the data randomly.

Analyze the Data

  1. Compute the following:
    • a. Fruit:
      • i. x¯ x =
      • ii. s x s x=
      • iii. nn =
    • a. Vegetables:
      • i. x¯ x =
      • ii. s x s x =
      • iii. nn=
    • a. Bread:
      • i. x¯ x =
      • ii. s x s x=
      • iii. nn =
  2. Find the following:
    • a. df(num)df(num) =
    • b. df(denom)df(denom) =
  3. State the approximate distribution for the test.
  4. Test statistic: FF =
  5. Sketch a graph of this situation. CLEARLY, label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value.
  6. p-value =
  7. Test at α=0.05α=0.05. State your decision and conclusion.
    • a. Decision: Why did you make this decision?
    • b. Conclusion (write a complete sentence).
    • c. Based on the results of your study, is there a need to further investigate any of the food groups’ prices? Why or why not?

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
