An experiment to compare the spreading rates of five different brands of yellow interior latex paint available in a particular area used 4 gallons [tex](J=4)[/tex] of each paint. The sample average spreading rates [tex](\left.ft^2 / gal \right)[/tex] for the five brands were [tex]\bar{x}_1 = 462.0[/tex], [tex]\bar{x}_2 = 502.8[/tex], [tex]\bar{x}_3 = 427.5[/tex], [tex]\bar{x}_4 = 469.3[/tex], and [tex]\bar{x}_5 = 532.1[/tex]. The computed value of [tex]F[/tex] was found to be significant at level [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]. With MSE [tex]= 400.8[/tex], use Tukey's procedure to investigate significant differences between brands. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

To determine which means differ significantly from one another, we use Tukey's procedure, which involves comparing the absolute differences between each pair of sample means to a critical value [tex]\(w = 46.39\)[/tex]. Let's look at the pairwise comparisons between the sample means:

1. [tex]\(\bar{x}_1 = 462.0\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_2 = 502.8\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_2| = |462.0 - 502.8| = 40.8 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

2. [tex]\(\bar{x}_1 = 462.0\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_3 = 427.5\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_3| = |462.0 - 427.5| = 34.5 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

3. [tex]\(\bar{x}_1 = 462.0\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_4 = 469.3\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_4| = |462.0 - 469.3| = 7.3 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

4. [tex]\(\bar{x}_1 = 462.0\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_5 = 532.1\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_1 - \bar{x}_5| = |462.0 - 532.1| = 70.1 \quad \text{(significant)} \][/tex]

5. [tex]\(\bar{x}_2 = 502.8\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_3 = 427.5\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_2 - \bar{x}_3| = |502.8 - 427.5| = 75.3 \quad \text{(significant)} \][/tex]

6. [tex]\(\bar{x}_2 = 502.8\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_4 = 469.3\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_2 - \bar{x}_4| = |502.8 - 469.3| = 33.5 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

7. [tex]\(\bar{x}_2 = 502.8\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_5 = 532.1\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_2 - \bar{x}_5| = |502.8 - 532.1| = 29.3 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

8. [tex]\(\bar{x}_3 = 427.5\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_4 = 469.3\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_3 - \bar{x}_4| = |427.5 - 469.3| = 41.8 \quad \text{(not significant)} \][/tex]

9. [tex]\(\bar{x}_3 = 427.5\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_5 = 532.1\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_3 - \bar{x}_5| = |427.5 - 532.1| = 104.6 \quad \text{(significant)} \][/tex]

10. [tex]\(\bar{x}_4 = 469.3\)[/tex] vs. [tex]\(\bar{x}_5 = 532.1\)[/tex]
[tex]\[ |\bar{x}_4 - \bar{x}_5| = |469.3 - 532.1| = 62.8 \quad \text{(significant)} \][/tex]

Comparing all of the absolute differences to [tex]\(w = 46.39\)[/tex], we find the following pairs show significant differences:
- [tex]\(\bar{x}_1\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\bar{x}_5\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\bar{x}_2\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\bar{x}_3\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\bar{x}_3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\bar{x}_5\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\bar{x}_4\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\bar{x}_5\)[/tex]

Therefore, the means that differ significantly from one another are:
[tex]\[ \begin{align*} \boxed{\bar{x}_1 \text{ and }\bar{x}_5} \\ \boxed{\bar{x}_2 \text{ and }\bar{x}_3} \\ \boxed{\bar{x}_3 \text{ and }\bar{x}_5} \\ \boxed{\bar{x}_4 \text{ and }\bar{x}_5} \end{align*} \][/tex]
