1- To calculate the test statistic for the difference between two population proportions, you can use the formula:
Test statistic = (p1 - p2) / standard error
Given that p1 = 0.25, p2 = 0.20, and the standard error = 0.04, substituting the values into the formula:
Test statistic = (0.25 - 0.20) / 0.04 = 0.05 / 0.04 = 1.25
Therefore, the calculated value of the test statistic is 1.25.
2- To find the F-value for the given degrees of freedom (7,3) and a significance level of 0.01, you need to use an F-distribution table or a statistical calculator.
From the F-distribution table, locate the row corresponding to the numerator degrees of freedom (7) and the column corresponding to the denominator degrees of freedom (3). In this case, the F-value is 9.78.
Therefore, the F-value for the given degrees of freedom (7,3) and a significance level of 0.01 is 9.78.
3- To compute the F test statistic for the hypothesis that the mean price per share is the same among industries, you need to calculate the between-group variation (numerator) and the within-group variation (denominator).
First, calculate the mean for each industry group:
Mean (banks) = (440 + 420 + 425 + 435 + 430 + 425 + 455) / 7 = 435
Mean (business services) = (470 + 480 + 495 + 460 + 465 + 475 + 485) / 7 = 475
Mean (construction) = (410 + 395 + 415 + 415 + 400 + 405 + 425) / 7 = 410
Next, calculate the total mean for all industry groups:
Total mean = (435 + 475 + 410) / 3 = 440
Now calculate the sum of squares between groups (SSB):
SSB = [(435 - 440)^2 + (475 - 440)^2 + (410 - 440)^2] * 7
= [(-5)^2 + (35)^2 + (-30)^2] * 7
= (25 + 1225 + 900) * 7
= 2150 * 7
= 15050
Calculate the sum of squares within groups (SSW):
SSW = [(440 - 435)^2 + (420 - 435)^2 + (425 - 435)^2 + (435 - 435)^2 + (430 - 435)^2 + (425 - 435)^2 + (455 - 435)^2] * 6
+ [(470 - 475)^2 + (480 - 475)^2 + (495 - 475)^2 + (460 - 475)^2 + (465 - 475)^2 + (475 - 475)^2 + (485 - 475)^2] * 6
+ [(410 - 410)^2 + (395 - 410)^2 + (415 - 410)^2 + (415 - 410)^2 + (400 - 410)^2 + (405 - 410)^2 + (425 - 410)^2] * 6
= (25 + 225 + 100 + 0 + 25 + 100 + 400) * 6
+ (25 + 25 + 400 + 225 + 100 + 0 + 100) * 6
+ (0 + 225 + 25 + 25 + 100 + 25 + 225) * 6
= 875 * 6 + 875 * 6 + 625 * 6
= 5250 + 5250 + 3750
= 14250
Finally, calculate the F test statistic:
F test statistic = SSB / SSW
= 15050 / 14250
≈ 1.056
Therefore, the F test statistic for the hypothesis that the mean price per share is the same among industries is approximately 1.056.
1- To calculate the test statistic for a two-tail test of the difference between two population proportions, we can use the formula:
Test Statistic = (p1 - p2) / standard error
In this case, the given values are p1 = 0.25, p2 = 0.20, and the standard error = 0.04. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Test Statistic = (0.25 - 0.20) / 0.04
= 0.05 / 0.04
= 1.25
Therefore, the calculated value of the test statistic is 1.25.
2- To find the F-value for the given degrees of freedom (7,3) and a significance level of 0.01, we need to refer to an F-table or use a calculator that has an F-distribution function. The F-value represents the critical value beyond which we reject the null hypothesis.
Looking up the F-value with (7,3) degrees of freedom at a significance level of 0.01, we find that it is 18.50 (approximately). Keep in mind that F-values can vary slightly depending on the specific F-table or calculator used, but they will be close.
Therefore, the F-value for d.f. = (7,3) at a significance level of 0.01 is approximately 18.50.
3- To compute the F-test statistic for the given data, we need to perform an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Here, we are comparing three industry groups (banks, business services, and construction) to determine if the mean price per share is the same among industries.
The F-test statistic for ANOVA is calculated by comparing the between-group variability to the within-group variability. The formula for the F-test statistic in ANOVA is:
F = (SSB / MSB) / (SSW / MSW)
where SSB is the sum of squares between groups, MSB is the mean square between groups, SSW is the sum of squares within groups, and MSW is the mean square within groups.
To calculate these values, we need to first calculate the sum of squares and mean squares. The sum of squares is obtained by summing the squared deviations from the mean. The mean square is obtained by dividing the sum of squares by its corresponding degrees of freedom.
Once we have the sum of squares and mean squares, we can plug them into the F-formula to calculate the F-test statistic.
Without the specific data provided in your question, I am unable to provide the exact F-test statistic. However, if you provide the data, I can guide you through the steps to calculate it.
