Shubham ANOVA

The assignment investigates the mean durability of different paint brands using ANOVA to determine if there are significant differences among them. Both methods employed for the ANOVA test resulted in rejecting the null hypothesis, indicating that at least one paint brand has a significantly different durability. The conclusion confirms that there is a statistically significant difference in durability among the brands tested.

Assignment on ANOVA
Name: Pawar Shubham Roll Number: 220003059
Objective:
To determine whether the mean durability (lifespan) of the different paint brands is significantly
different. If the ANOVA test shows a significant difference (p-value < 0.05), the company can conclude
that at least one brand performs better (or worse) than the others.

Factors:

 Independent Variable: Paint Brands

 Levels (Treatments): Different brands (ex: Asian Paints, Dulux Paints etc.)

 Dependent Variable (Replications): Durability of paints

Hypothesis:

 Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference in paint brands (1 = 2 = 3 = 4).

 Alternative Hypothesis (H1): At least one paint brand has a significantly different
durability.

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance):


Method-1: Using Microsoft Excel Data Analysis Tool

In this method, I used the data analysis tool in Microsoft Excel to perform ANOVA for the stated
objective. I generated observations for each level of treatment using a normal distribution with the
help of the statistics mentioned in the table below.

 = 0.05
Brand Asian Paints Berger Paints Nerolac Paints Dulux paints
Sample Mean 14.39 17.92 23.4 26.74
Sample Std. Deviation 3.59 3.47 3.70 2.83

Asian Paints 25 359.67 14.39 12.89

Berger Paints 25 448.05 17.92 12.04

Nerolac Paints 25 584.95 23.4 13.69

Dulux Paints 25 668.39 26.74 8.01

Table 3: ANOVA

Since F > F-critical, we reject the null hypothesis.

Method-2: Using procedure taught in class

 = 0.05
Correction Factor (C) = 42,477.21 MSTR = 761.23

Total sum of squares (SST) = 3402.78 MSE = 11.65

Treatment sum of squares (SSTR) = 2283.71 F = 65.34

Error sum of squares (SSE) = 1119.07 F-critical = 2.7

Since, F > F-critical, we reject the null hypothesis.

Result:

We reject the null hypothesis using both methods.

Conclusion:

Based on the ANOVA test, since F > F-critical, we reject the null hypothesis (H0). This indicates that
there is a statistically significant difference in the mean durability among the different paint brands. At
least one brand has a durability that differs significantly from the others.
