  1. Three suppliers provide parts in shipments of 500 units. Random samples of six shipments from each of the three suppliers were carefully checked and the numbers of numbers not conforming to standards were recorded. These numbers are listed in the following table:

Supplier A

Supplier B

Supplier C

28

37

34

29

31

33

22

27

29

20

18

30

33

29

39

33

37

38

  1. Prepare the analysis of variance table for these data
  2. Test the null hypothesis at the 5% of that the population mean numbers of parts per shipment not conforming to standards are the same for all three suppliers.

i. The degree of freedom for the groups would be m-1 or 2, for m is number of groups. The degree of freedom for the error would be n-m or 15, for n is the total number of observations.

The sum of square total would be or or . The sum of square of error would be or or or . The sum of square between would be or or .

The anova table would be as below.

DF SS MS F P-val
Group 2 354.1111 354.1111/2=177.0556 0.0014
Error 15 254.1667 254.1667/15=16.9445
Total 17 608.2778

ii. The null hypothesis is that the mean of the groups is the same for all, while the alternate would be that the mean of the groups is not same for all.

The F-statistic obtained is . The critical F would be , and since , we may reject the null that the mean is the same for all. This means that the variation between groups is quite high. This can also be confirmed by the p-value, which is less than 0.05 alpha level.

A manufacturer is considering purchasing parts from three different suppliers. The parts received from the suppliers are classified as having a minor defect, having a major defect, or being good. Test results from samples of parts received from each of the three suppliers are shown below. Note that any test with these data is no longer a test of proportions for the three supplier populations because the categorical response variable has three outcomes: minor defect, major defect, and good.
