There is a significant difference in evaluation scores of a project management seminar based on the level of managers who attended. Data on evaluation scores from high-level, mid-level, and low-level managers showed mean scores of 7.6, 8.8571, and 5.8333 respectively. A one-way ANOVA test revealed the F value of 11.7557 is greater than the critical F value of 3.68, indicating a significant difference exists between the evaluation scores based on manager level. This suggests the seminar may need to be tailored differently based on the intended audience of managers.

PRACTICE PROBLEM

A management consulting company presents a three-day seminar on project management to


various clients. The seminar is the same each time it is given. However, sometimes it is
presented to high-level managers, sometimes to low-level managers. The seminar organizers
believe evaluations of the seminar may vary with the audience. Suppose the following data are
some randomly selected evaluation scores from different managers who attended the seminar.
The ratings are on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. Use a one-way ANOVA to
determine whether there is a significant difference in the evaluation according to the manager
level. Assume a = 0.5. Discuss the business implications of your findings.

Within Groups 15 18.8905 1.2594

Step 5
The decision is to reject the null hypothesis, as the observed value of 11.7557 is greater than the
critical table F value of 3.68. Thus, there is a significant difference between the means of three
project managers. The difference is based on the level of managers.
