ANOVA (Two Way Classification)

Problem 1: A tea company appoints four salesmen A, B, C and D and observes their sales in
three seasons – summer, winter and monsoon. The figures (in lakhs) are given in the
following table.

Season Salesman A Salesman B Salesman C Salesman D Total

Summer 36 36 21 35 128

Winter 28 29 31 32 120

Monsoon 26 28 29 29 112

Total 90 93 81 96 360

(i) Do the Salesman significantly differ in performance?

(ii) Is there significant difference between the seasons?
Table value of F at 5% for 3,6 is 4.76 and 2,6 is 5.14

Problem 2: The following table gives the number of refrigerators sold by 4 salesmen in three
months May, June and July

Month Salesman A Salesman B Salesman C Salesman D

May 50 40 48 39

June 46 48 50 45

July 39 44 40 39

1. Is there any significant difference in the sales made by the four salesmen

2. Is there any significant difference in the sales due to months.

Table value of F at 5% for 3,6 is 4.76 and 2,6 is 5.14

Problem 3 : The following data represent the number of units of production per day turned
out by 5 different workers using 4 different types of machines

Workers Machine A Machine B Machine C Machine D

1 44 38 47 36
2 46 40 52 43
3 34 36 44 32
4 43 38 46 33
5 38 42 49 39
a) Test whether the mean productivity is the same for the different machine
b) Test whether the 5 workers differ with respect to mean productivity
Table value of F at 5% for 3,12 is 3.49 and 4, 12 is 3.26
