1. At the 5% significance level, does there appear to be a difference in mean lifetime among the
four brands of batteries?

Brand A Brand B Brand C Brand D

42 28 24 20
30 36 36 32
39 31 28 38
28 32 28 28
29 27 33 25

1.1. STATE THE HYPOTHESIS:

H0: There is no significant difference in mean lifetime among the four brands of batteries.

H1: There is significant difference in mean lifetime among the four brands of batteries.

1.2. DEGREE OF FREEDOM:

DF Between Group DF Within Group

DfBG = k – 1 DfWG = NTOTAL - K

DfBG = 4 – 1 DfWG = 20 - 4

DfBG = 3 DfWG = 16

1.3. F – CRITICAL VALUE:

F – Critical Value:
3.24

1.4. COMPUTATION (EXCEL SOLUTION):

1.5. DECISION:
 F - Value F- Critical Value Decision
0.74 < 3.24 Accept Ho

1.6. INTERPRETATION:

Since our F – value (0.74) is less than the F- critical value (3.24), at a significance level
0.05 we fail to reject Ho. Therefore, I conclude that there is no significant difference in mean
lifetime among the four brands of batteries.

2.1. State the decision for (Early Alzheimer’s)

Since F- value (49.89) is greater than the F- Critical value (3.40). REJECT Ho.

2.2 State the decision for (Middle Alzheimer’s)

Since F- value (4.04) is less than the F- Critical value (4.26). ACCEPT Ho.

2.3. State the decision for (Early Alzheimer’s & Middle Alzheimer’s)

Since F- value (17.53) is greater than the F- Critical value (3.40). REJECT Ho.
