How to do one-way ANOVA in R with unequal sample s

Question

Trying to learn R. A question from an old stats text want's to know if there is a difference in break times at different construction sites. Trouble is, the text decided that each site employs a different number of workers. So, I am stuck and looking for help using ANOVA with unequal sample sizes.

site1 <- c(34,25,27,31,26,34,21)
site2 <- c(33,35,31,31,42,33)
site3 <- c(17,30,30,26,32,28,26,29)
site4 <- c(28,33,31,27,32,33,40)

Answer 1

Try this one

site1 <- c(34,25,27,31,26,34,21)
site2 <- c(33,35,31,31,42,33)
site3 <- c(17,30,30,26,32,28,26,29)
site4 <- c(28,33,31,27,32,33,40)

Data <- data.frame(
       Y=c(site1, site2, site3, site4),
       Site =factor(rep(c("site1", "site2", "site3", "site4"), times=c(length(site1), length(site2), length(site3), length(site4))))
       )

Data

 34 site1
 21 site1
 33 site2

 29 site3
 28 site4
 33 site4
 31 site4
 27 site4
 32 site4
 33 site4
 40 site4

ANOVA

fm1 <- aov(Y~Site, data=Data)
anova(fm1)
