Question: A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample. One group gets no drug, one group gets a small dose, and the third group gets a large dose. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below.
| No drug | Small dose | Large dose | |||
| 0 | 1 | 5 | |||
| 1 | 3 | 8 | |||
| 3 | 4 | 6 | G = 45 | ||
| 0 | 1 | 4 | X2 = 229 | ||
| 1 | 1 | 7 | |||
| T = 5 | T = 10 | T = 30 | |||
| SS = 6 | SS = 8 | SS = 10 |
Determine whether these data indicate any significant differences among the treatments.
