In Exercises 14, use the following listed chest deceleration measurements (in g, where g is the force of gravity) from samples of small, midsize, and large cars. (These values are from Data Set 13 in Appendix B.) Also shown (on the next page) are the SPSS results for analysis of variance. Assume that we plan to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different size categories have the same mean chest deceleration in the standard crash test.

What characteristic of the data above indicates that we should use oneway analysis of variance? b. If the objective is to test the claim that the three size categories have the same mean chest deceleration, why is the method referred to as analysis of variance?

Solution
Problem 12
In Exercises 516, use analysis of variance for the indicated test.
Clancy, Rowling, Tolstoy Readability. Pages were randomly selected by the author from the Bear and the Dragon by Tom Clancy, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling, and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. The Flesch Reading Ease scores for those pages are listed below. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the books appear to have different reading levels of difficulty?
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 4
Given:
Using the above table, to find the books appear to have different reading levels of difficulty.
Consider two hypothesis,
At Least one of the means is unequal.
The significance level is .
To calculate P value, if the P is less than , accept null hypothesis.
