Am i doing this correctly?

Problem #1

Suppose a group is interested in determining whether teenagers obtain their drivers licenses at approximately the same average age across the country. Suppose that the following data are randomly collected from five teenagers in each region of the country. The numbers represent the age at which teenagers obtained their drivers licenses. The null hypothesis is all group means are equal. The alternate hypothesis is that any two group means are not equal.

Northeast	South	West	Central	East
16.3	16.9	16.4	16.2	17.1
16.1	16.5	16.5	16.6	17.2
16.4	16.4	16.6	16.5	16.6
16.5	16.2	16.1	16.4	16.8
Mean	16.325	16.5	16.4	16.425	16.925
Variance	0.171	0.294	0.216	0.171	0.275

Find the F-statistic using an ANOVA table. In order to receive full credit, you need to show your values of group mean and group variance (table above), grand mean (below), and all of the values in the ANOVA table (below).

Grand Mean = 16.515

Source of Variation	Sum of Squares (SS)	Degrees of Freedom (df)	Mean Square (MS)	F-Statistic
Factor (Between)		4		4.21
Error (Within)		15
Total		19

HINT: In order to create an ANOVA table, you will need to follow examples 13.1 and 13.2 in your Illowsky book. At the end of this homework assignment, there is also another detailed example. DO NOT calculate the SS_within by hand. Use EXCEL (or calculate by hand) the value for SS_total and then calculate the value for SS_between. The value of SS_within = SS_total SS_between.

Problem #2

A study of 3 different groups of 8 employees (24 people total) were surveyed to determine their daily commuting mileage. The boss wants to test the claim that the commuting mileage is the same for each group.

Complete the ANOVA table with the missing information

Source of Variation	Sum of Squares (SS)	Degrees of Freedom (df)	Mean Square (MS)	F-Statistic
Factor (Between)	3034	2
Error (Within)		21
Total	6535	23

Problem #3

Saturday	Sunday
10	58
120	61
94	19
20	99
73	60
63.4	59.4	Mean
		Variance

We would like to test if there is any variation in spending at a mall between Saturday and Sunday. The table shows the results of a study. Assume a 10% significance level. HINT: See Section 13.4 (Test of Two Variances) in the Illowsky book to find the F-statistic. Assume the null hypothesis is the variances are the same and assume the alternate hypothesis is the variances are not the same. So, you will use a two-tail probability.

Should we accept or reject the null hypothesis?
