1. ANOVA is the preferred method for finding differences among several population
proportions.
Answer: False Type: Concept Difficulty: Easy
2. The sum of squares error and the sum of squares treatment add to the sum of squares
total.
Answer: True Type: Concept Difficulty: Easy
3. The degrees of freedom for error in an ANOVA are n - r.
Answer: True Type: Concept Difficulty: Easy
4. In an ANOVA, if the sum of squares for error is 400, the sum of squares for treatment
is 180, and the total sample size for the four groups compared is 88, then the null
hypothesis should not be rejected.
Answer: False Type: Computation Difficulty: Hard
5. In an ANOVA, if: n = 130, r = 3 groups, SSE = 12,490, SSTR = 13,000, and using a
= 0.05, the decision should be to reject the null hypothesis.
Answer: True Type: Computation Difficulty: Hard

within.
Answer: True Type: Concept Difficulty: Medium
7. One assumption needed for ANOVA is that the r populations involved are normally
distributed, with equal variances.
Answer: True Type: Concept Difficulty: Easy
8. The test statistic in an ANOVA is the ratio of the SSTR and the SSE.
Answer: False Type: Concept Difficulty: Easy

70. As a followup, the consulting firm wishes to know which structure to emphasize.
Conduct a Tukey's Pairwise Comparison as an input into this decision
Answer:
Tukey's HSD = 7.922 = q0.05*[28.89/7]
The sample means for the leadership structures are as follows:
A: x-bar = 37.9
B: x-bar = 37.8
C: x-bar = 29.4
D: x-bar = 29.9
A is significantly higher than both C & D
B is significantly higher than both C & D
A is not significantly different from B
C is not significantly different from D
It appears that the consulting firm should choose either structure A or B.
