Testing the effects of radiation on the growth of tardigrades there were 3 levels, 1, 2, and 3. Sample size=2 per level Mean Variance Level

Testing the effects of radiation on the growth of tardigrades there were 3 levels, 1, 2, and 3.

Sample size=2 per level

Mean

Variance

Level 3 (highest radiation)

83.74

.14

Level 2 (medium level)

65.83

16

Level 1(Lowest radiation)

56.76

23

Assume all variances the same

a. If the means are the same, each mean has the same mean, and a variance of sigma2/2, so we can build 2 estimates of variance, we cani. Calculate Meantot=(mean1+mean2+mean3)/3, and var1=2*(sum(meani-meantot)^2)/2

ii. Calculate Var2=generalize the pooled estimate of variance from the outside the book, class notes(lecture 17), Calculate it.

iii. Calculate Var1/Var2~F with 2 and 3 degrees of freedom (why 3 df),

b. Test if the 2 estimates of variance are the same

c. If Var1>>Var2, what does that mean about the means of the data
