16. A pharmaceutical company has developed a drug that is expected to reduce hunger. To test the drug, two samples of rats are selected with n = 20 in each sample. The rats in the first sample receive the drug every day and those in the second sample are given a placebo. The dependent variable is the amount of food eaten by each rat over a 1-month period. An ANOVA is used to evaluate the difference between the two sample means and the results are reported in the following summary table. Fill in all missing values in the table. (Hint: Start with the df column.) Source SS df MS Between treatments ___ ___ 20 F = 4.00 Within treatments ___ ___ ___ Total ___ ___

Step 1
The degrees of freedom (df) for between treatments is the number of treatment groups minus 1. Since there are two groups (drug and placebo), df for between treatments is 2-1 = 1. Show more…

A researcher wanted to determine whether different brands of cereal lead to different amounts of weight gain. They randomly selected 30 laboratory rats and assigned them to five groups. All five groups will have identical lab conditions, with one exception: the brand of cereal that each group receives during the experimental period. Based on the table below, is there a significant difference in weight gain among the rats that were fed the different brands of cereal? 1) Complete the ANOVA table below. Show all your work. Source | SS | DF | MS | F -----------|-------|----|------|---- Between | 98.16 | | | Within | | | | Total | 128.25| | | 2) Perform ANOVA test for the population means. Use α = 0.05, and rejection region to make a decision.

The following ANOVA table is from an experiment that had a group receiving a placebo as the no treatment control, a group that received a dose of experimental compound A, another group receiving compound B while a final group received both drugs in combination. Each of the groups contained 10 subjects. The following information has been calculated but important pieces are missing. Source of Variation | Sum of Squares | df | Mean squares | F-ratio | P --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- Groups (treatments) | 8.804 | | | | 0.004 Error | 10.512 | | | | Total | 19.316 | | | | Given the above table calculate the degrees of freedom (df) column.
