Question

A psychologist compares the mean amount of time of rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep for subjects under three conditions. She randomly assigns 12 subjects to the three groups, four per group. The sample means for the three groups were 18, 15, and 12. The table shows the ANOVA table from SPSS.

REM sleep

Source DF SS MS F P
Group 2 72.00 36.00 0.79 0.481
Error 9 408.00 45.33
Total 11 480.00

For the Tukey 95% multiple comparison confidence intervals comparing each pair of means, the margin of error for each interval is 13.3. Is it true or false that since all the confidence intervals contain 0, it is plausible that all three population means equal 0.

Given:

c=Confidence level=95%=0.95ME=Margin of error=13.3\begin{aligned} c&=\text{Confidence level}=95\%=0.95 \\ ME&=\text{Margin of error}=13.3 \end{aligned}

We need to determine whether all three population means could be zero when all confidence intervals contain 0.

When a confidence interval contains 0, then the population means are not significantly different.
