A pet food company conducted an experiment to compare different cat foods. A sample of cats from the
population at a local animal shelter was selected. Six cats were randomly assigned to each of the five products. Each
was then presented with 3 ounces of the selected food in a dish at feeding time. The researchers defined the variable
to be measured as the number of ounces of food that the cat consumed within a 10-minute time interval. The results
for this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table. Complete (a) through (d) below.

a. At the level of significance, is there evidence of a difference in the mean amount of food eaten among the
various products?

Determine the hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.
A. H0: 1 2
= = • • • = 6
H1: Not all are equal
j
(where j 1,2, …, )= 6

(1) H0. There is (2) evidence of a difference in the mean amount of food eaten
among the various products.
b. If appropriate, determine which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten.
Let the kidney-based cat food be group 1, the shrimp-based cat food be group 2, the chicken liver-based cat food be
group 3, the salmon-based cat food be group 4, and the beef-based cat food be group 5.
Is there significant evidence that group 1 and group 2 differ in the mean amount of food eaten?
A. No
B. Yes
C. It is not appropriate to test which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten.
Is there significant evidence that group 1 and group 3 differ in the mean amount of food eaten?
A. No
B. Yes
C. It is not appropriate to test which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten.
Is there significant evidence that group 1 and group 4 differ in the mean amount of food eaten?
A. Yes
B. No
C. It is not appropriate to test which products differ in the mean amount of food eaten.
