2. equality of population variances, σ12 = σ22 = · · · = σt2 .

yij : The jth sample observation selected from population i. For example,
y23 denotes the third sample observation drawn from population 2.
ni : The number of sample observations selected from population i. In our
data set, n1 , the number of observations obtained from population
1, is 4. Similarly, n2 = n3 = n4 = n5 = 4. However, it should be
noted that the sample sizes need not be the same. Thus, we might
have n1 = 12, n2 = 3, n3 = 6, n4 = 10, and so forth.
P
nT : The total sample size; nT = ni . For the data given in Table 13.4,
nt = n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5 = 20.
yi : The sum (total) of the sample measurements obtained from popula-
tion i.
P
y·· : The sum (grand total) of all sample observations: y·· = yi· .
ȳi· : The average of the ni sample observations drawn from population i,
ȳi· = yi /ni .
ȳ·· : The average of all sample observations; ȳ·· = y·· /nT .
α
• R.R. : We reject H0 in favor of Ha if the test statistic F exceeds FU,t−1,n T −t
.
This test is often summarized in an analysis of variance table. (AOV ta-
ble).

£EXAMPLE 8.1 ¢
A clinical psychologist wished to compare three methods for reducing hos-
tility levels in university students. A certain test (HLT) was used to mea-
sure the degree of hostility. A high score on the test indicated great hos-
tility. Eleven students obtaining high and nearly equal scores were used in
the experiment. Four were selected at random from among the 11 problem
2
cases and treated with method 1. Four of the remaining seven students
were selected at random and treated with method 2. The remaining three
students were treated with method 3. All treatments were continued for
a one-semester period. Each student was given the HLT test at the end
of the semester, with the results shown in Table 13.8. Use these data to
perform an analysis of variance to determine if there are differences among
mean scores for the three methods. Use α = .05.
H0 : µ1 = µ2 = µ3
Ha : At least one of the population means differes from the rest.
Substituting into the computational formulas for TSS and SSB, we have

The critical value of F is obtained from Table 6 in the Appendix for α = .5,
df 1 = 2, and df 2 = 8; this value is 4.46. Since the computed value of F,
7.72, exceeds the tabulated value, 4.46, we reject the null hypothesis of
equality of the mean scores for the three groups. Computer output shown
here verifies the results we obtained by hand.
