Performance Task in Statistics and Probability

This document summarizes a performance task involving hypothesis testing using ANOVA to analyze the hours spent playing online games by three sections: Alcaraz, Tesla, and Zara. The null hypothesis is that the means of hours spent for each section are equal, while the alternative hypothesis is that they are not equal. The critical F-value is calculated and compared to the computed F-value from the data. Since the computed F-value is greater than the critical value, the null hypothesis is rejected, meaning there is a significant difference between the sections in hours spent playing online games.

Performance Task in

Statistics and Probability

Topic: Hours spent in playing online games.


Hypothesis Testing Method: ANOVA
Given the hours spent in playing online games of the three (3) section, Alcaraz, Tesla,
and Zara, is there a significant difference between the performance of the three section?

Section of Alcaraz (1) Section of Tesla (2) Section of Zara (3)

Step by step process:

1. Formulate the hypothesis

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3

μ1 = S1
μ2 = S2
μ3 = S3

2. Determine the Alpha

α = 0.05

3. Finding the Critical F-Value

Fcrit = 3.89
α dfbet dfw/n
dfbetween = k - 1
0.05 dfwithin = N - k
k = number of columns N = total number of observations
k=3 N = 15
dfbet = 3-1 dfw/n = 15-3
dfbet = 2 dfw/n = 12

4. Compute for the Computed F-Value

Fcomp = 7.5
(x - x̿) ²  (xn - x̅n) ² 
Section of Alcaraz (1)

x̅z = 3
GRAND MEAN SStotal = 18
x̿ = 3

dfbet = 2 SSbet = 10 MSbet = 10/2 = 5


dfw/n = 12 SSw/n = 8 MSw/n = 8/12 = 2/3 or 0.66666666667
SStotal = 18
Fcomp = 5/0.66666666667 = 7.5

5. Compare Fcrit-value and Fcomp-value

Fcrit Fcomp
3.89 < 7.5

6. Conclusion

Accept the alternative hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis.

There is no significant difference in the performance of the 3 sections.
