How productive are U.S. workers? One way to answer this question is to study annual profits per employee. A random sample of companies in computers (I), aerospace (II), heavy equipment (III), and broadcasting (IV) gave the following data regarding annual profits per employee (units in thousands of dollars).

I II III IV
27.3 13.2 22.7 17.9
23.4 9.2 20.4 16.9
14.3 11.5 7.2 14.8
8.4 8.2 12.7 15.1
11.8 6.5 7.0 10.2
19.8 9.8

(b) Find SSTOT, SSBET, and SSW and check that SSTOT = SSBET + SSW. (Use 3 decimal places.)

SSTOT =
SSBET =
SSW =


Find d.f.BET, d.f.W, MSBET, and MSW. (Use 3 decimal places for MSBET, and MSW.)

dfBET =
dfW =
MSBET =
MSW =


Find the value of the sample F statistic. (Use 3 decimal places.)


What are the degrees of freedom?
