To study the effect of temperature on yield in a chemical process, five batches were produced at each of three temperature levels. The results follow.
Temperature
50°C: 35, 25, 37, 40, 33
60°C: 29, 30, 33, 22, 26
70°C: 24, 29, 29, 31, 32
a. Construct an analysis of variance table (to 2 decimals but p-value to 4 decimals, if necessary).
Source of Variation: Treatments, Error, Total
b. Use a .05 level of significance to test whether the temperature level has an effect on the mean yield of the process. Calculate the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).
The p-value is between .01 and .025
What is your conclusion?
Do not reject the assumption that the mean yields for the three temperatures are equal
