The output is pretty much the same as before (the homogeneous subsets is output also but it is not shown here) but the ANOVA table is a little different.

So we are looking for the probabilities \(P = P(z_{1} < x < z_{2})\) for an interval to the right of the mean or \(P = P(-z_{2} < x <- z_{1})\) for an interval to the left of the mean.

In th...That is, for the case of means here, you know for sure that the mean of the population, if it is different from the null hypothesis mean, if greater than (or less than) the null hypothesis mean. In that case, if \(p < 0.05\) then it means that the data (the test statistic) indicates there is less than a 5% chance that the result is a statistical fluke; that there is less than a 5% chance that the decision is a Type I error.

Note that \(\bar{x}_{1} > \bar{x}_{2}\) (\(8.6>7.9\)) so \(H_{1}:\mu_1 > \mu_2\) is true on the face of it. If \(H_{1}\) is not true on the face of it then \(H_{1}\) is just plain false without the need for any statistical test.

With the IQR any data value that satisfies: This is one of many ways one can define an outlier. As we will discuss below, it is a robust way of identifying outliers. \[ Q_{1} = 9 \hspace{.25in} Q_{2} = 14 \hspace{.25in} Q_{3} = 20 \] \[ IQR = Q_{3} - Q_{1} = 20 - 9 = 11. \] Following our rules for finding outliers, we compute:
