Question: State hypothesis Define test, one or two sided? Test assumptions (equal variance, normality) State test statistic (t, F, Chi-square) State critical value (1 or 2

State hypothesis

Define test, one or two sided?

Test assumptions (equal variance, normality)

State test statistic (t, F, Chi-square)

State critical value (1 or 2 sided, degrees of freedom)

State conclusions.

A company producing stents measures the torque for stents using 5 different stent designs (shapes and thicknesses). For each design 5 samples are taken, see table below. Test the hypothesis that the designs cause differences in torque.

Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4 Design 5
Sample 1 29.39 30.63 27.16 31.03 29.67
Sample 2 31.51 32.10 26.63 30.98 29.32
Sample 3 30.88 30.11 25.31 28.95 26.87
Sample 4 27.63 29.63 27.66 31.45 31.59
Sample 5 28.85 29.68 27.10 29.70 29.41
Means 29.65 30.43 26.77 30.42 29.37

I'm having trouble with this problem. I'm pretty sure its an f test but I have no idea how to solve it.
