Topic: Hours spent in playing online games.

Hypothesis Testing Method: ANOVA
Given the hours spent in playing online games of the three (3) section, Alcaraz, Tesla,
and Zara, is there a significant difference between the performance of the three section?

3 3 2

Step by step process:

1. Formulate the hypothesis

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3

μ1 = S1
μ2 = S2
μ3 = S3

2. Determine the Alpha

α = 0.05

3. Finding the Critical F-Value

Fcrit = 3.89
 α dfbet dfw/n
dfbetween = k - 1
0.05 dfwithin = N - k
k = number of columns N = total number of observations
k=3 N = 15
dfbet = 3-1 dfw/n = 15-3
dfbet = 2 dfw/n = 12

4. Compute for the Computed F-Value

Fcomp = 7.5

dfw/n = 12 SSw/n = 8 MSw/n = 8/12 = 2/3 or 0.66666666667
SStotal = 18
Fcomp = 5/0.66666666667 = 7.5

5. Compare Fcrit-value and Fcomp-value

Fcrit Fcomp
 3.89 < 7.5

6. Conclusion

Accept the alternative hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis.

There is no significant difference in the performance of the 3 sections.
