Continuation of Example 2
Fifteen fourth-grade students were randomly
assigned to three groups to experiment with
three different methods of teaching arithmetic.
At the end of the semester, the same test was
given to all 15 students. The table in the next
slide gives the scores of students in the three
groups.
Solution to Example 2:
1. Ho: µ1= µ2 =µ3 (all three population
means are equal)
Ha: at least one population mean is
different from the other two
where µ1, µ2, and µ3 be the mean arithmetic
scores of all fourth-grade students who are
thought, respectively, by methods I, II, and III.

Parametric Test for Means: More Than Two Populations
ANOVA
• Sometimes we may analyze the effects of
two factors.
• Example: if different teachers teach
arithmetic using these three methods, we
can analyze the effects of teachers and
teaching methods on the scores of students.
This is done by using a two-way ANOVA.

Nonparametric Test for Means: More Than Two Populations
Kruskal-Wallis Test
Workshop:
1. The data that follows come from a biological
monitoring test for chronic toxicity on fish larvae.
The control is clean (tap) water. The other four
conditions are tap water mixed with the indicated
percentages of treated wastewater effluent. The
lowest observed effect level (LOEL) is the lowest
percentage of effluent that is statistically different
from the control.
Workshop:
Test at 5% level of significance whether the chronic
toxicity is the same for all levels or not. Also, identify
the LOEL.
Workshop:
2. A particular reservoir was divided into three
strata (surface layer, bottom layer, and
intermediate layer). Portions of reservoir
water were collected at random (with
respect to vertical and horizontal location)
within each stratum. Test at 5% level of
significance if at least one pair of strata
have different mean phosphorus content.
