Question 1

A comparison of the treatments based on independently selected experimental units that are randomly assigned to treatments is referred to as a completely randomized design.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. A completely randomized design involves randomly assigning experimental units to different treatments to compare the effects of those treatments. The randomization helps to ensure that any differences in the outcomes are due to the treatments themselves, rather than other factors such as differences in the experimental units or biased assignment to treatments.

Question 2

The fundamental identity for a single-factor ANOVA is MSTo = MSTr + MSE

Accepted Answer

The fundamental identity for a single-factor ANOVA is Total Sum of Squares (SST) = Sum of Squares Between Groups (SSB) + Sum of Squares Within Groups (SSW), not in terms of mean squares (MSTo, MSTr, MSE).

Question 3

SSE measures the within-sample variability.

Accepted Answer

SSE (Sum of Squared Errors) measures the amount of variation within the sample data, which represents the variability that is not explained by the regression model.

The answer of ...

Question 5

The P-value associated with the calculated F value in an ANOVA is the area to the right of the calculated value under an F distribution curve.

Accepted Answer

The P-value associated with the calculated F value in an ANOVA is indeed the area to the right of the calculated value under an F distribution curve. The smaller the P-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis (i.e. the more likely it is that there is a significant difference between the groups being compared).

Question 6

As long as the other assumptions are plausible, the F test for testing the equality of population means in an ANOVA can be safely used when the largest sample standard deviation is no more than twice the smallest standard deviation.

Accepted Answer

The F test assumes that the populations being compared have equal variances. When the largest standard deviation is no more than twice the smallest, it is likely that the variances of the populations are roughly equal. Therefore, the F test can be used with confidence.

Question 7

MSTr and MSE are statistics.

Accepted Answer

MSTr (Mean Square Treatment) and MSE (Mean Square Error) are both statistics commonly used in analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the significance of differences between groups or treatments.

Question 8

SSE measures the within-sample variability.

Accepted Answer

SSE (sum of squared errors) measures the deviation of actual values from the predicted values within the sample. It is a measure of within-sample variability.

Question 9

The P-value associated with the calculated F value in an ANOVA is the area to the right of the calculated value under an F distribution curve.

Accepted Answer

The P-value associated with the calculated F value in an ANOVA is the probability of obtaining an F value as extreme as, or more extreme than, the calculated value under the null hypothesis. This is represented by the area to the right of the calculated value under an F distribution curve. Therefore, the statement is true.

Question 10

The objective of a single-factor analysis of variance for k populations is to test the equality of the k population variances.

Accepted Answer

The objective of a single-factor analysis of variance for k populations is to test the equality of the means, not the variances.
