T11.2 State the null hypothesis for a one-way ANOVA test if there are four groups.
T11.3 State the alternative hypothesis for a one-way ANOVA test if there are three groups.
What can you conclude at the 5% level of significance?
T11.5 Groups of men from three different areas of the country are to be tested for mean
weight. The entries in the Table 1 are the weights for the different groups.
T11.6 A product designer is testing the tensile strength of a new synthetic fiber that will be
used to produce cloth for women’s jackets. Strength is usually affected by the
percentage of cotton used in the blend of materials for the fiber. An experiment is
conducted with five levels of cotton content and replicated the experiment five times.
The data are shown in the following Table 2.

c) Is there evidence to support the claim that cotton content affects the mean
tensile strength? Use α = 0.05
d) Use the Fisher LSD method to make comparisons between the pairs of means.
