1. An oil company has introduced a new gasoline brand in its outlets in three (3) major cities. However, they are
not sure how the new brand is selling at the three (3) places since there is a lot of difference in the driving habits
of people in the three (3) cities. The company selected ten (10) outlets in each city and tabulated the data on an
average daily sale (Volume-in Gallon) at each of the selected outlets. The data is presented in the table below.
Items 1, 2, and 3 in the table represent the three (3) cities. Test the hypothesis at a 1% alpha level.
2. Set the level of significance or alpha. The level of significance or the alpha is 0.01 or 1%.
3. Calculate the degree of freedom (df), F- Critical Value and the F- Value.
o Using the Microsoft excel the table shows the computation of the data.

5. Make a conclusion.
At (0.01)level of significance, there is enough evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference
in the average daily sales volume of gasoline in each outlets in three(3) cities.
2. An official marathon contest was held in a particular city. The table below gives the times taken, in hours, by
twelve competitors to complete the course, together with their type of occupation and training method used.
Carry out an analysis of variance and test, at a 5% level of significance, for differences between types of
occupation and between training methods.
2. Set the level of significance or alpha. The level of significance or the alpha is 0.05 or 5%.
3. Calculate the degree of freedom (df), F- Critical Value and the F- Value.

o Using the F-critical Value Approach
-Since the computed f-value (2.23) is less than to the f-critical value (4.76) we need to accept the null
hypothesis at rows factor, while at column factor since the computed f-value (71.01) is less than to
the f-critical value (5.14) we need to reject the null hypothesis
5. Make a conclusion.
