PROBLEM SET NO. 8

Problem 14
Ho: There is no significant difference in the mean fiber content among breakfast cereals, fruits
and vegetables.
Ha: At least one mean is significantly different from the others.

Fc = 0.69 Ft = 3.47
Since the Fc of 0.69 is less than the Ft of 3.4, df (2,21), the Ho stating that there is no
significant difference in the mean fiber content among breakfast cereals, fruits and vegetables
cannot be rejected.
Problem 15
Ho: There is no significant difference in the means of the comprehensive examination results
given to three reading classes.
Ha: At least one mean is significantly different from the others.
