Answer ALL the Questions

1. Three different machines are used for a production. On the basis of the outputs, set up one-way ANOVA table
and test whether the machines are equally effective. (2 marks)

Outputs
Machne I Machine II Machine III
10 9 20
15 7 16
11 5 10
10 6 14

2. Five breeds of cattle B1 , B2 , B3 , B4 , B5 were fed on four different rations R1 , R2 , R3 , R4 . Gain in weight in kg
over a given period were recorded and given below: (2 marks)

B1 B2 B3 B4 B5
R1 1.9 2.2 2.6 1.8 2.1
R2 2.5 1.9 2.3 2.6 2.2
R3 1.7 1.9 2.2 2.0 2.1
R4 2.1 1.8 2.5 2.3 2.4

Is there a significant difference between

(a) breeds
(b) rations

3. The following data resulted from an experiment to compare three burners B1 , B2 and B3 . A Latin square
design was used as the tests were made on 3 engines and were spread over 3 days. (2 marks)

Engine 1 Engine 2 Engine 3

Day 1 B1 − 16 B2 − 17 B3 − 20
Day 2 B2 − 16 B3 − 21 B1 − 15
Day 3 B3 − 15 B1 − 12 B2 − 13

Using R, test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the burners.
