You are conducting a study of three types of feed supplements for cattle to test their effectiveness in producing weight gain among calves whose feed includes one of the supplements. You have four groups of 30 calves (one is a control group receiving the usual feed, but no supplement). You will conduct a one-way ANOVA after one year to see if there are difference in the mean weight for the four groups. What is k for this experiment?
a. 3
b. 30
c. 4
d. 120

Answer :

Answer:

since we have four groups, the number of population k = 4

Option C. 4 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Number of group k = 4

the number of cases in each group = 30

so

n = 4 × 30

n = 120

SS_total  = df = n - 1

= 120 - 1

= 199

SS_between = k - 1

= 4 - 1

= 3

since we have four groups, the number of population k = 4

Option C. 4 is the correct answer
