Frame score in beef cattle is based on height at the hips and is used as a measure of skeletal size. Frame scores range from 1 to 10 with a higher number indicating a taller animal. Independent random samples of frame scores were selected from the Angus and Simmental breeds of beef cattle with the following results: Angus Simmental 5 7 6 7 7 8 5 6 7 7 6 Using the appropriate table, find the critical F value needed to test the null hypothesis that the breed means for frame score are equal (use α = 0.05). Should we reject or not reject the null hypothesis that the mean frame scores of these two breeds are equal?
