A physician who specializes in weight control has three different diets she recommends. As an experiment, she randomly selected 15 patients and then assigned 5 to each diet. After three weeks the following weight losses, in pounds, were noted. At the .05 significance level, can she conclude that there is a difference in the mean amount of weight loss among the three diets? Explain.

See attached problem/chart. Thanks.

  • Variance Assumption of ANOVAs and Parametric Tests

    Instead of analysis of variance if we use t test several times means it will be time consuming and not a valid test too. So if there are more than three sample means to be tested means analysis of variance will be the appropriate test.

    * there is no advantage to using an analysis of variance instead of several t test * the analysis of variance is more likely to detect a treatment effect * using several t test increases the risk of a Type I error (this is the one I had chosen)?

  • Theory of Underlying Anova

    Thus, variance analysis can tell us whether different sample data classified on the basis of two variables. The variance analysis studies the significance of the difference in the means by analyzing variance.
