1. The CFU datasheet of the Cells dataset contains bacterial counts in three organs
of sacrificed mice at three different times. Counts are performed in the same
conditions in two groups of mice: a protein-deficient group (KO) and a normal,
control group (C). Assess at 5% level whether the spleen bacterial count in the
two groups are different after two weeks of infection. Which type of test must be
used?
a. H0: µ1 =
µ2 H1: µ1
≠ µ2
b. α = 0.05
c. Test Statistic: Two sample t-test
d. Computation:

e. Decision: Since p = 0.02728 < α = 0.05, we reject the H0.

f. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the bacterial count of
control group and the spleen group after 2 weeks of infection.

2. Assume one wishes to compare the measurement sets CG and EG of the Moulds
Dataset
a) Which type of test must be used?
T-test and F-test
b) Perform the two-sample mean test at 5% level and study the
respective power. a. H0: µ1 - µ2 = 0
H1: µ1 - µ2 ≠
0 b. α = 0.05
c. Test Statistic: Paired t-test
d. Computation:
 e. Decision: Since p = 3.26-13 < α = 0.05, we reject the H0.
f. Conclusion: Both mean difference of variable CG and EG are not
significantly equal to 0.
c) Assess the equality of variance of the
2
sets. a. H0: S21 = S 2
H1: S12 ≠
2
S2 b. α = 0.05
c. Test Statistic: F-test
d. Computation:

e. Decision: Since p = 3.597-11 < α = 0.05, we reject the H0.

f. Conclusion: Therefore, the variance of variable CG and EG are not
significantly equal.
3. The data in the following table represent the number of hours of relief provided
by five different brands of headache tablets administered to 25 subjects
experiencing fevers of 38°C or more. Perform the analysis of variance and test
the hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance that the mean number of hours of
relief provided by the tablets is the same for all five brands. Discuss the results.
Tablet
A B C D E
5.2 9.1 3.2 2.4 7.1
4.7 7.1 5.8 3.4 6.6
8.1 8.2 2.2 4.1 9.3
6.2 6.0 3.1 1.0 4.2
3.0 9.1 7.2 4.0 76
a. H0: µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 =
µ5 H1: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3 ≠
µ4 ≠ µ5
b. α = 0.05
c. Test Statistic: ANOVA
d. Computation:

e. Decision: Since p = 0.001497 < α = 0.05, we reject the H0.

f. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the mean of the tablets in
at least one pair of brands.
