Local environmentalists want to test if there is a difference in the pH of three different streams (called A, B, and C) feeding into Lake Travis. They took a random sample of 15 measurements from each stream and, after confirming all relevant assumptions, ran a one-way ANOVA on the data and got a significant (p<0.05) result.

a. Write the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this analysis. (1pt)
b. List one potential confounding variable and briefly describe what impact it might have on the applicability of the results. (2pt)

The null and alternate hypotheses are: h0: μ1 ≤ μ2 h1: μ1 > μ2 a random sample of 22 items from the first population showed a mean of 113 and a standard deviation of 12. a sample of 16 items for the second population showed a mean of 99 and a standard deviation of 6. use the 0.01 significant level. find the degrees of freedom for unequal variance test. (round down your answer to the nearest whole number.) state the decision rule for 0.010 significance level. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (round your answer to 3 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding the null hypothesis? use the 0.01 significance level.
