two Assumptions:
populations. 1. Each sample is a random sample.
2. The k random samples are independent.
3. For each population, the response is normally distributed.
4. The k population variances are equal.
Decision Rule:
Link Reject Ho if Fc > Fa(k-1, n-k). Otherwise, fail to reject Ho.
Three drugs are compared based on the number of days to cure a disease.
Nineteen patients are randomly assigned to one of the three drugs. Test if the
three drugs have the same effect at 5% level of significance.
Step 6: Conclude.
We are 95% confident that at least one drug has a different effect.
Read and answer the problem carefully.
Caffeine is a common drug that affects the central nervous system. Among
the issues involved with caffeine is, does the presence of caffeine alter the
ability of similar compounds to move across the blood-brain barrier? In this
experiment, 43 lab rats were randomly assigned to one of eight treatments.
Each treatment consisted of an arterial injection of C14-labeled adenine
together with a concentration of caffeine (0 to 50 mM). Shortly after injection,
the concentration of labeled adenine in the rat brains is measured as the
response. Use alpha = 5%.
Decision Rule:
Reject Ho if Fc > Fa(k-1, n-k). Otherwise, fail to reject Ho.
