FIND THE ANOVA

Three brands of weight enhancing vitamins were tried on a sample of three groups of a children the data
are reflected on the table below in terms of weight gain in pound

4.4 3.1 2.8
4.0 2.9 2.5
3.5 3.7 3.1
5.2 3.8 3.4
4.7 4.1 3.5
2.6 3.0 3.6
4.2 3.9 2.8
3.7 3.2 3.5
3.5 3.0 3.3

Determine if there is no significant difference in the average weight gain (in lbs) among the three groups
of children using the three brands of weight enhancing vitamins at a=5%.

Step 1: State the null and alternative hypothesis.

1 Null Hypothesis (𝐻0 ): 𝜇: 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 = 𝑥3, 𝜇 = 3
2.Alternative Hypothesis (𝐻𝑎 ): 𝜇 − 𝑥1 ≠ 𝑥2 ≠ 𝑥3, 𝜇 ≠ 3
3. Write 𝐻0 in words:
𝐻0 there is no significant difference in average weight gain among the three groups of children using 3
brands of weight enhancing vitamins.
4. Write 𝐻𝑎 in a word:
𝐻𝑎 there is a significant difference in average weight gain among the three groups of children using 3
brands of weight enhancing vitamins.

Step 2: find the critical value

Critical value : k=3, n=27, ⅆ𝑓 𝑁 = 𝑘 − 1 = 2 ⅆ𝑓 𝐷 = 𝑛 − 𝑘 = 24
