The manager of a computer software company wishes to study the number of hours senior executives by type of industry spend at their desktop computers. The manager selected a sample of five executives from each of three industries. At the .05 significance level, can she conclude there is a difference in the mean number of hours spent per week by industry? Banking Retail Insurance
12 8 10
10 8 8
10 6 6
12 8 8
10 10 10

Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.

Explanation:

The given data is

Banking          Retail            Insurance

12                      8                        10

10                     8                          8

10                     6                          6

12                     8                           8

10                    10                          10

1) Let the null and alternate hypotheses be

H0: u1=u2=u3  i.e all the three means are equal and

Ha: Not all three means are equal

2) The significance level is set at ∝ =0.05

3)The test statistic to use is

F= sb²/ sw²

which has F distribution with v1= k-1 →3-1=2 and v2= n-k →15-3=12 degrees of freedom

After calculations the following table is obtained.

4) The critical region is F ≥ F(0.05, 2,12) = 3.885

5) Since the calculated value of F= 5.733 falls in the critical region we reject the null hypothesis  and conclude all three means are not equal.
