3)Answer : Do Kruskal-Wallis Analysis Hypotheses Ho: The three populations represented by the data are identical.

H1: There is a difference between the three groups. (claim) Let Group 1= control, Group 2= LSD, Group 3= UML Test Statistic Group 1 2 3 Ranks 7.5 7.5 11 17.5 17.5 20.5 20.5 23.5 2 1 4.5 4.5 7.5 3 7.5 11 11 14 14 14 16 20.5 25 Rank Sums 26 27 203.5 80.0 94.5

20.5 23.5

N=27, R1=203.5, R2=80, R3=94 H= H= H =6.17508

Decision Since the sample sizes all exceed 5, we must use the chi-square table (A.11). The critical value of chi-square for -1=2 for = 0.05 is 5.991. Thus, with H = 6.17508 which is greater than 5.991 we reject H0.

Conclusion There is enough evidence to support the claim that there is a difference among the three groups.

We continuous the step by doing multiple comparison. Using multiple comparison test to test each pair of medians in exercise 6.1 to see whether a specific difference exists at =0.2.

Since H0: The three population represented by the data are identical is rejected. Means that there is a difference among the medians, we are interested to know where the difference is.

Multiple Comparison 1) Hypothesis:

a)

H0: M1 = M2 H1: M1 M2

b)

H0: M1 = M3 H1: M1 M3

c)

H0: M2 = M3

H1: M2 M3

2) Test statistic: =0.2 k=3 So there will be k (k-1) = 3(3-1) =3 comparison to make

The next step is to find in table A.2 the value of z that has right.

area to it

From table A.2, value of z for 0.033 of the area to the right is 1.84 /k (k-1) =0.2/3(2)=0.033, .

The mean of the rank for the three samples:

1)

= 18.5

2)

= 10

3)

= 11.81

k samples are all of the different size

Compare group 1 and 2

Hence 8.5 > 6.79

Compare group 1 and 3

Hence 6.69 < 6.79

Compare group 2 and 3

Hence 1.81 < 7.30

3)Decision :
a)

Since 8.5 > 6.79 reject the H0. The comparison is significant.

b)

Since 6.69 < 6.79, do not reject the H0. The comparison is not significant.

c)

Since 1.81 < 7.30, do not reject the H0. The comparison is not significant.

4) Conclusion:
a)

There are enough evident to support the claim that there are different between median group 1 and 2. We can conclude that the medians of populations 1 and 2 are not equal.

b)

There are not enough evident to support the claim that there are different between median group 1 and 3. We cannot conclude that the medians of populations 1 and 3 may be equal.

c)

There are not enough evident to support the claim that there are different between median group 2 and 3. We can conclude that medians of populations 2 and 3 may be equal.
