were randomly and independently chosen from the populations‚ population distributions are normal for each group; and population variances are equal for all groups. The assumptions of ANOVA are identical to the t-test and the calculated statistic is called an F-value which has a probability value associated with it. As with the t-test‚ if our probability value is less than 0.05 we reject our null hypothesis (in this case that there is no difference among the treatment groups). This p-value

CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Background to the Study Solid waste is material that has no economic value at present‚ or material perceived as not having value at any given time and to a particular society (Ambasht 1999). Waste‚ garbage‚ trash‚ junk and refuse are all names given to that “stuff” that is no longer useful in its current form. In contemporary society‚ many of the items used daily are designed to be used and discarded. Thus‚ with the increased availability of disposables has come

STATISTICS PROJECT The balance is a interval‚ numerical and continuous variable. The ATM is a ratio‚ numerical‚ discrete variable. Services is a ratio‚ numerical‚ discrete variable. Debit‚ interest and city are a categorical‚ nominal variable. As the graph‚ shows below‚ the balance of the typical customer‚ otherwise known as the mean is equal to 1499.87. 12 customers have more than $2‚000 in their account. This number is relatively high because the account balances tend to cluster
