    Question

    In the Netherlands, municipalities are partly allowed to determine the distribution of their health care expenses.

    Two municipalities (‘gemeente A’ and ‘gemeente B’) wondered how satisfied residents are with the care they receive from the municipality (on a scale of 1, very dissatisfied to 10, very satisfied) and put this question to a number of respondents. Below are the results of the survey.

    The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in satisfaction between the two municipalities and perform an ANOVA for this.

    Calculate the Sum of Squares Model (SSM) based on the above data.  Round to one decimal place


    Solution

    gemeente A    score tevredenheid (schaal van 0 tot 10)                        
    respondent 1    7    0,75    0,5625                
    respondent 2    6    -0,25    0,0625                
    respondent 3    5    -1,25    1,5625                
    respondent 4    7    0,75    0,5625                
    gemeente B                            
    respondent 5    6    0,25    0,0625                
    respondent 6    4    -1,75    3,0625                
    respondent 7    5    -0,75    0,5625                
    respondent 8    8    2,25    5,0625                
                                
    totaal gemiddelde=    6                        
                                
    Total sum of squares= Σ(Y-Ῡ)²                            
    Model sum of squares=Σnk*(Ῡk-Ῡ)²                            
    Residual sum of squares=Σ(Y-Ῡk)²=(4-5)²+(5-5)²+(6-5)²+(6-6)²+(3-6)²+(9-6)²=20                            
    Mean square model= MSS/dfm                            
    Mean square residual= RSS/dfr=20/4=5                            
    F=MSM/MSR                            
                                
                                
                                
     gemeente A    6,25        SSm    0,5            
    gemeente B    5,75        SSr    11,5            
                MSM    0,5/1=0,5            
                RSS    11,5/6=1,916667            
                                
        F=    0,5/1,916667=0,261         a very small F so probably not significant
