An entomologist collected data on fly abundance in three vegetation layers - herb, shrub, and tree. The entomologist tested the hypothesis that fly abundance is the same across the three layers using ANOVA. The ANOVA results were statistically significant, with a small p-value, indicating the null hypothesis should be rejected. Therefore, the analysis found that fly abundance differs between the three vegetation layers.

Activity 8 Comparing Three or More Groups An entomologist is studying the vertical distribution of a fly species in deciduous forest and obtains ten collections of the files in three different vegetation layers: herb, shrub, tree. The entomologist wants to test the H0: The abundance of the flies is the same in all three vegetation layers. The data is contained in the file fliesdata.sav. Open and analyze the data using the most appropriate statistical method. Make sure to check the assumptions of the method. Present and interpret the results. INTERPRETATION: The F value is 31.320 with p-value of 0.000 it indicates a failure to reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level. The smaller the p-value, the more certainty there is that the null hypothesis can be rejected. Therefore, the null hypothesis that the abundance of flies is the same in three vegetation levels are all the same should be rejected and that the abundance of flies is at random to the three vegetation levels.
