Question

Please solve this problem with complete solution, step by step and use formula.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides data that show the fair market monthly rent for metropolitan areas. The following data show the fair market monthly rent ($) in 2005 for 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments for five metropolitan areas (The New York Times Almanac, 2006). At the 0.05 level of significance, test whether the mean fair market monthly rent is the same for each metropolitan area.

Explanation / Answer

SS(total)=(each observation)2 – CM = SS(A)+SS(B)+SS(AB)+SSE

CM = (Sum of all observaions)2/a*b, where a is number of levels in the rows factor and b is number of levels in the columns factor

SS(A) = Ai2/b – CM, The Ai are the row sums.

SS(B) = Bi2/a – CM, The Bj are the column sums.

SSE = SS(total) – SS(A) – SS(B) – SS(AB)

CM = (1077+775+975+1107+1045+1266+929+1183+1313+1187+1513+1204+1725+1889+1537)2/(3*5)
= 23375041.67

SS(total) = 10772 + 7752 + 9752 + 11072 + 10452 + 12662 + 9292 + 11832 + 13132 + 11872 + 15132 + 12042 + 17252 + 18892 + 15372 – 23375041.67 = 1296935.33

SS(A) = [(1077+775+975+1107+1045)2 + (1266+929+1183+1313+1187)2 + (1513+1204+1725+1889+1537)2]/5 – 23375041.67= 874308.13

SS(B)=[(1077+1266+1513)2+(775+929+1204)2+(975+1183+1725)2+(1107+1313+1889)2+(1045+1187+1537)2]/3
- 23375041.67 = 350201.9967

SSE = 1296935.33 – 874308.13 – 350201.9967 = 72425.2033

dfA= 3 – 1 = 2

dfB = 5-1 = 4

dftotal = 15-1 = 14

dferror = dftotal - dfA - dfB = 14-4-2 = 8

MSA = SSA/dfA = 874308.13/2 = 437154.065

MSB = 350201.9967/4 = 87550.49918

MSerror = 72425.2033/8 = 9053.150413

FA = MSA/MSerror = 437154.065/9053.150413 = 48.29

FB = MSB/MSerror =

Two-way ANOVA: Rent versus Bedrooms, Area

     Source        DF       SS      MS          F      P

     Bedrooms     2   874308 437154 48.29 0.000

     Area              4   350202   87550    9.67   0.004

     Error              8    72425    9053

     Total             14 1296935

The p-value corresponding to Area is 0.004; because the p-value < = .05, there is a significant difference in the mean fair market monthly rent for the five metropolitan areas.
