The statistical method used in this study is the ANOVA or Analysis of Variance.

Here is

the method used:

n=12 c=3 r=4

where c is the number of columns

and r is the number of rows

TSS= Σx2 – (Σx)2/n

=33.99 – 19.972/12

=33.99 – 397.20/12

=33.99 – 33.1

=0.89

SSB= 1/r [Σ (Σx)2] – (Σx)2/n

=1/4 (7.732 + 6.672 + 5.572) – (19.97)2/12

=1/4 (59.75 + 44.49 + 31.02) – (396.80/12)

=1/4 (135.26) – (33.07)

=33.82 – 33.07

=0.75

SSW = TSS – SSB

SSW = 0.89 – 0.75

 =0.14

DFT = r x c – 1

=4x3–1

=11

DFB = K – 1 = 2

DFW = DFT – DFW = 9

MSSB = SSB/DFB

= 0.75/2

=0.375

MSSW = SSW/DFW

=0.14/9

=0.016

F = MSSB/MSSW Ftab = 4.26 @ 5%

= 0.375/0.016

= 23.44 > 4.26

Therefore, the hypothesis is rejected. There is a significant difference in the

formulations used.
