The budgetary request from each of three long-term care facilities operated by our organization was based in part on the case complexity of residents. To assess the situation, suppose that we selected four patients in each of three age groups from each of the facilities and obtained the number of secondary diagnoses presented by each resident. The results derived from the samples are as follows.
The results derived from the samples are as follows.
Age Group A B C
65-74 2, 4, 3, 5 7, 4, 8, 9 10, 9, 7, 8
75-84 4, 5, 5, 6 6, 8, 9, 10 11, 10, 9, 12
85+ 5 5, 6, 7, 5 7, 9, 10, 11 13,14, 12, 12
Let alpha= 0.05 and determine whether differences among the treatment, block, and interactive effects are significant or attributable to chance. Include the hypotheses (both null and alternate), alpha, test statistic (highlight where it is calculated)
