  1. Restate the question that the researcher is investigating?

  1. What type of test is appropriate for this question?

  2. Write out the model statements in words (make sure you include null model too)

  3. What are the hypotheses (all of them)

  4. Run the appropriate statistical test in Minitab (for this example you do not need to check for normality, variance, outliers etc, just run the test). Paste the output here. Paste it so it is easy to read.

  5. Run a post-hoc test if appropriate. Paste results here as appropriate.

  6. Summarize what the results are telling you. What is the take home message that you want to tell your audience. (I am not requiring a final graph for this assignment)

Restate the question that the researcher is investigating ?

Answer : researcher wants to test or to find there is mean difference between treatments, it is significant or not

that is treatments are significant or not here treatments are subject.

## Q ) What type of test is appropriate for this question ?

we can use ANOVA test : and find out treatments are significant or not here treatetmes are subject .

also find out which treatment is different .

## Q ) Write out the model statement in words : Yij = u +  α i+ error  

Ho : all treatments mean are same (null hypothesis ) vs H1 : at least one mean is differ for treatment.

Yij = u +  α i+ error ( model )

where u is overall mean , alpha is treatments .

## Q) what are the hypothesis :

Ho : null hypothesis : all treatments means are equal vs

H1 : alternative hypothesis : at least one mean is differ

## Q ) Run the appropriate statistical test in Minitab  Paste the output here. Paste it so it is easy to read.

Answer : paste here output of the minitab:

One-way ANOVA: salary cource versus Subject

Method

Null hypothesis All means are equal
Alternative hypothesis At least one mean is different
Significance level α = 0.05

Equal variances were assumed for the analysis.

Total 44 13312444

### from anova p value is less than alpha value hence we reject Ho ( using p value appraoch)

we can say that there is enough or sufficient evidence to conclude that there is atleast one treatment is differ .

that is atleast one subject mean is differ

Social Sciences 13 2785 478 (2520, 3049)

Pooled StDev = 472.277

## Q ) Run a post hoc test if appropriate . Paste results here as approapriate

answer : post hoc test is valid only if we have reject Ho : by using it we can find which treatment mean is differ .

here post hoc test is valid because we reject Ho .

Social Scien - Managament -249 205   ( -798, 300) -1.21 0.621

Individual confidence level = 98.94%

using p value appraoch result is not significant if p value is less than alpha value here

using p value approach . Humanities - Engineering ,and Managament - Humanities mean pair is significant out of all .

## Q ) Summarize what the results are telling you . What is the take home mesasge that you want to tell your audience .

Answer : first from anova reuslt is significant and there is at least one treatment mean is differ .

use post hoc test ( Tukeys comparison test and find which one is differ )

overall we can say that subjects ( tramtments ) have different with salary course  .and

Humanities - Engineering ,and Managament - Humanities mean pair is significant out of all .
