Question:
Testing the effects of radiation on the growth of tardigrades there were 3 levels, 1, 2, and 3.
Sample size=2 per level | Mean | Variance |
Level 3 (highest radiation) | 83.74 | .14 |
Level 2 (medium level) | 65.83 | 16 |
Level 1(Lowest radiation) | 56.76 | 23 |
Assume all variances the same
a. If the means are the same, each mean has the same mean, and a variance of sigma2/2, so we can build 2 estimates of variance, we cani. Calculate Meantot=(mean1+mean2+mean3)/3, and var1=2*(sum(meani-meantot)^2)/2
ii. Calculate Var2=generalize the pooled estimate of variance from the outside the book, class notes(lecture 17), Calculate it.
iii. Calculate Var1/Var2~F with 2 and 3 degrees of freedom (why 3 df),
b. Test if the 2 estimates of variance are the same
c. If Var1>>Var2, what does that mean about the means of the data
