The following data represents the test scores of students who were taught using three different teaching
methods (A, B, C). Test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in mean test scores among
the three teaching methods.
78 82 75
85 88 80
90 85 88
88 92 85
75 80 78
Question 2:
An experiment was conducted to test the effect of different types of soil on plant height. Three types of
soil (X, Y, Z) were used, and the height of the plants was measured after a fixed period. The data is as
follows:
12 15 11
14 13 16
10 11 12
13 14 10
Test the hypothesis that there is no significant difference in mean plant heights among the three types of
soil. Use a one-way ANOVA and interpret the results.
Question 3:
A researcher is studying the effect of three different diets (Diet 1, Diet 2, Diet 3) on weight loss. The
weight loss (in pounds) for participants on each diet is given below:
5 8 6
7 9 7
6 7 5
8 10 8
Perform a one-way ANOVA to determine if there are significant differences in mean weight loss among
the three diets.
Question 4:
A survey was conducted to examine the relationship between gender and preference for a certain type
of beverage. The data is as follows:
Test the hypothesis that there is no association between gender and beverage preference at a
significance level of 0.05.
Question 5:
A market researcher wants to determine if there is a relationship between advertising channel (TV,
Radio, Online) and customer response (Positive, Neutral, Negative). The data is as follows:
| TV | Radio|Online|Total
---------------|--------|--------|-------- |-------
Positive | 20 | 15 | 10 | 45
Neutral | 10 | 20 | 15 | 45
Negative |5 | 10 | 20 | 35
---------------|--------|--------|--------|-------
Total | 35 | 45 | 45 | 125
Test the hypothesis that there is no significant association between advertising channel and customer.
Question 6:
A researcher is investigating the effectiveness of a new drug to reduce blood pressure. The blood
pressure of 10 participants was measured before and after taking the drug. The data (in mmHg) is given
below:
Before: 130, 140, 125, 132, 128, 136, 145, 130, 138, 142
After: 122, 135, 120, 130, 128, 130, 138, 124, 132, 137
Test the hypothesis that the new drug has a significant effect on blood pressure.
Question 7:
The mean height of a certain plant species is believed to be 120 cm. To test this hypothesis, a botanist
randomly selects 10 plants and measures their heights (in cm):
118, 122, 121, 119, 123, 117, 120, 124, 122, 119
Test whether the mean height is significantly different from 120 cm.
Question 8:
A researcher is investigating the effect of a new drug on blood pressure. A group of patients is treated
with the new drug (Group A), and another group is treated with a placebo (Group B). The blood pressure
reductions (in mmHg) after treatment are recorded:
Group A: 5,7,8,6,4,7,6,9,5,85,7,8,6,4,7,6,9,5,8
Group B: 2,3,5,4,2,3,4,2,5,32,3,5,4,2,3,4,2,5,3
Test the hypothesis that the mean reduction in blood pressure is different between the two groups.
