Essay

Six independent samples of 100 values each are randomly drawn from populations that are normally distributed with equal variances. You wish to test the claim that $\mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 } = \mu _ { 3 } = \mu _ { 4 } = \mu _ { 5 } = \mu _ { 6 }$ .
If you test the individual claims $\mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 } , \mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 3 } , \mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 4 } , \ldots , \mu _ { 5 } = \mu _ { 6 }$ , how many ways can you pair off the means?
i) Assume that the tests are independent and that for each test of equality between two means, there is a $0.90$ probability of not making a type I error. If all possible pairs of means are tested for equality, what is the probabi making no type I errors?
ii) If you use analysis of variance to test the claim that $\mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 } = \mu _ { 3 } = \mu _ { 4 } = \mu _ { 5 } = \mu _ { 6 }$ at the $0.10$ level of significan what is the probability of not making a type I error?
