Question

1. When it comes to hot dogs, health conscious individuals prefer those that are lowest in salt (sodium) and calories. three types of hot dogs are classified: Beef, poultry, and meat (mix of pork and other types of meats). Additionally, two measure for the hot dogs are provided, one that indicated the number of calories and one that indicated the sodium content.
   1. Run a hypothesis test to determine if there are significant differences in the sodium levels of the three types of hot dogs using an α = 0.05. Describe the differences if differences exist.
   2. Run a hypothesis test to determine if there are significant differences in the calorie content of the three types of hot dogs using α = 0.05. Describe the differences if differences exist.

Answer 1

For sodium:

Anova: Single Factor
SUMMARY
Groups	Count	Sum	Average	Variance
Type 1	19	7528	396.2105263	10560.73099
Type 2	17	7115	418.5294118	8812.014706
Type 3	17	7803	459	7180.75
ANOVA
Source of Variation	SS	df	MS	F	P-value	F crit
Between Groups	35993.85	2	17996.92605	2.017694879	0.143646	3.18261
Within Groups	445977.4	50	8919.547864
Total	481971.2	52

The p-value is 0.1436

Since p-value is greater than 0.05 so we cannot conclude that there are significant differences in the sodium levels of the three types of hot dogs using an α = 0.05.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For calories:

The p-value is: 0.0000

Since p-value is less than 0.05 so we can conclude that there are significant differences in the calorie content of the three types of hot dogs using α = 0.05.

Difference exist between Type 1 - Type 3 and Type 2 - Type 3
