An investigator for a consumer cooperative organized a study of the mileages obtainable from three different brands of gasoline. Using 15 identical motors set to run at the same speed, the investigator randomly assigned each brand of gasoline to 5 of the motors. Each of the motors was then run on 10 gallons of gasoline, with the total mileages obtained as follows.
Gas 1 Gas 2 Gas 3
220 244 252
251 235 272
226 232 250
246 242 238
260 225 256
Test the hypothesis that average mileage obtained is the same for all three types of gasoline. Use 5% level of significance.

Solution Summary
There are two problems. For first problem, solution describes the steps in detemining whether different brands of gasoline have any significant effect on mileage. One way ANOVA analysis is carried out.
For second problem, solution explains the steps in calculating chi square statistics with the help of observed and expected frequencies. Finally this statistics is compared with critical value to determine whether there has been a significant change in viewing audience for given channels.

Solution 1
Ho: (Average mileage is same for all types of gasoline)
Ho: (Average mileage is not same for all types of gasoline)
Using One way ANOVA analysis on MS Excel at 5% level of significance, we get
Anova: Single Factor
