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.
