3. Correct. The
answer is true
We have
With a-1=3-1=2 and a(b-1)=3(4-1)=9 degrees of freedom.
a) Referring to F-table with n1 and n2, we get F0.95=4.96. Since F=6>F0.95 we can reject the null hypothesis of equal mean at the 0.05 level.
b) Referring to the F-table with n1 and n2, we get F0.99=8.02. Since F=6<F0.95 we cannot reject the null hypothesis of equal mean at the 0.05 level.
