Question

The National Turkey Association wants to experiment with the effects of three different feed mixtures on weight gain in poults. Because no experience exists regarding the three mixtures, no assumptions regarding the population distribution of weights exist. To study the effects of the three mixtures, five poults were given feed A, six were given feed B, and five were given feed C over a three-week time period. Test at the 0.1 level the hypothesis that there is no effect of feed mixture on weight. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Weight (in pounds)
Feed Mixture A	Feed Mixture B	Feed Mixture C
12.9	12.5	10.7
11.3	11.2	12.4
11.2	12.9	10.9
10.7	11.3	11.7
1.8	12.4	12.5
	11.9

	H0:(the distributions are the same, they are not the same) . H1:(the distributions are the same, they are not the same) .

	Reject H0 if H >___

	Computed H = ___

	There (is not sufficient, is sufficient) evidence that the mean weights of the turkeys are not the same.

Answer 1

from above:

H0 :the distributions are the same

Ha:  they are not the same

Reject H0 if H > 4.605

Computed H = 2.157

There is not sufficient evidence that the mean weights of the turkeys are not the same.
