For Exercises 17 and 18, assume the ANOVA requirements are met. If appropriate, perform multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni method with individual level of significance for the indicated data. If not appropriate to perform multiple comparisons, state why not.
17. The data from Exercise 19, Section 12.1
12.2.17
Test 1: ; Test 2: ; Test 3: . For each hypothesis test, reject if the Bonferroni-adjusted . Test 1: ; Test 2: ; Test 3: . Test 1: Bonferroni-adjusted ; Test 2: Bonferroni-adjusted ; Test 3: Bonferroni-adjusted . Test 1: The adjusted , which is not ; therefore we do not reject . There is insufficient evidence at the level of significance that the population mean of Population A differs from the population mean of Population B. Test 2: The adjusted , which is not ; therefore we do not reject . There is insufficient evidence at the level of significance that the population mean of Population A differs from the population mean of Population C. Test 3: The adjusted , which is ; therefore we reject . There is evidence at the level of significance that the population mean of Population B differs from the population mean of Population C.
