22. One possible explanation for why some bird’s migration and others maintain year-round residency in a single location is intelligence. Specifically, birds with small brains, relative to their body size, are simply not smart enough to find food during the winter and must migrate to warmer climates where food is easily available (Sol, Lefebvre, & Rodriguez- Teijeiro, 2015). Birds with bigger brain on the other hand, are more creative and can find food even when the weather turns harsh. Following are hypothetical data similar to the actual research results. The numbers represent relative brain size for the individual birds in each sample. LABEL EACH OF THE 4 HYPOTHESIS STEPS IN YOUR WORK PLEASE! FOR A 5 STAR RATING

a) Use an ANOVA with = .05 to determine whether there are any significant mean differences among the three groups of birds.
c) Use the Tukey HSD post-test to determine which groups are significantly different.

From the given data,
Source | DF | Sum of Square | Mean Square | F Statistic | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Groups (between groups) | 2 | 252.000000 | 126.000000 | 19.285713 | 0.0000713979 |
Error (within groups) | 15 | 98.000004 | 6.533334 | ||
Total | 17 | 350.000004 | 20.588236 |
Hypothesis:
H0:1=2=3
There are no differences among three groups of birds.
H1:Atleast one of the treatement means is different.
Test statisctics:
F-statistics=19.2857
p-value:0.0001
Since p-value<0.05, we reject null hypothesis.
conclusion:Hence there is significant difference among three groups of birds.
