Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate \(SS_{between}\)

The sum of squares between groups is calculated as follows: \[ SS_{between} = \sum_{i=1}^k n_i (\bar{X}_i - \bar{X})^2 = 21.1435 \]

Step 2: Calculate \(SS_{within}\)

The sum of squares within groups is calculated as: \[ SS_{within} = \sum_{i=1}^k \sum_{j=1}^{n_i} (X_{ij} - \bar{X}_i)^2 = 108.8056 \]

Step 3: Calculate \(MS_{between}\)

The mean square between groups is calculated using the formula: \[ MS_{between} = \frac{SS_{between}}{df_{between}} = \frac{21.1435}{2} = 10.5718 \]

Step 4: Calculate \(MS_{within}\)

The mean square within groups is calculated as: \[ MS_{within} = \frac{SS_{within}}{df_{within}} = \frac{108.8056}{24} = 4.5336 \]

Step 5: Calculate the F-statistic

The F-statistic is calculated using the mean squares: \[ F = \frac{MS_{between}}{MS_{within}} = \frac{10.5718}{4.5336} = 2.3319 \]

Step 6: Calculate the P-value

The P-value is determined using the F-distribution: \[ P = 1 - F(F_{observed}; df_{between}, df_{within}) = 1 - F(2.3319; 2, 24) = 0.1187 \]

Step 7: Conclusion

Based on the calculated F-statistic and P-value, we can compare the P-value to the significance level \(\alpha = 0.1\) to make a decision regarding the null hypothesis.

Final Answer

  1. \(H_{0}: \mu_{1}=\mu_{2}=\mu_{3}\)
  2. ANOVA
  3. \(F = \boxed{2.332}\)
  4. \(p\text{-value} = \boxed{0.1187}\)
  5. \(p\text{-value} > \alpha\)
  6. Fail to reject the null hypothesis
  7. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that position is a factor in starting salaries for new college graduates.
