A social survey was administered to a sample of adults. A subsample of these adults, selected randomly, appears in the table below. Each respondent has been classified as either a city dweller, a suburbanite, or a rural dweller. Are there statistically significant differences by place of residence for the number of
children living in these households (at an alpha level of 0.05)? Make sure to
round to four digits for each step and your final answer.

ANSWER:
Here we need to use one way ANOVA.
Hypotheses are:
H0: There is no difference by place of residence in the number of children in each household.
Ha: There is a difference by place of residence in the number of children in each household.
Following is the output of one way ANOVA:
Anova: Single Factor | ||||||
SUMMARY | ||||||
Groups | Count | Sum | Average | Variance | ||
Urban | 10 | 10 | 1 | 0.66666667 | ||
Suburban | 10 | 13 | 1.3 | 1.12222222 | ||
Rural | 10 | 30 | 3 | 3.33333333 | ||
ANOVA | ||||||
Source of Variation | SS | df | MS | F | P-value | F crit |
Between Groups | 23.26667 | 2 | 11.63333 | 6.81344902 | 0.004021854 | 3.354131 |
Within Groups | 46.1 | 27 | 1.707407 | |||
Total | 69.36667 | 29 |
The F test statistics is
F = 6.813
The p-value is:
p-value = 0.0040
Since p-value is less than 0.05 so we reject the null hypothesis.
That is we can conclude that there is a difference by place of residence in the number of children in each household.
