In: Statistics and Probability
Three different brands of tires were compared for wear characteristics. From each brand of tire, six (6) tires were randomly selected and subjected to standard wear-testing procedures. The average mileage obtained for each brand of tire and sample variances (both in 1,000 miles) are shown below.
Brand A |
Brand B |
Brand C |
|
Average Mileage |
37 |
38 |
33 |
Sample variance |
3 |
4 |
2 |
At 95% confidence, using both critical value and P-value to test to see if there is a significant difference in the average mileage of the three brands.
Answer:-
Given that:-
Brand A Brand B Brand C
Average Mileage 37 38 33
Sample variance 3 4 2
for Brand A
t - test
So, we reject null hypothesis of no significance
p- value for t = 52.85 would be at
i.e reject
for Brand B
stat
reject null hypothesis of no significance
for t=46.56 p - value would be at
reject
for Brand c
reject null hypothesis of no significance
p-value would be at
reject
