Although tea is the world's most widely consumed beverage after water, little is known about its nutritional value. Folacin is the only B vitamin present in any significant amount in tea, and recent advances in assay methods have made accurate determination of folacin content feasible. Consider the accompanying data on folacin content for randomly selected specimens of the four leading brands of green tea. 1: 7.9 6.2 6.6 8.6 8.9 10.1 9.6 2: 5.7 7.5 9.8 6.1 8.4 3: 6.8 7.5 5.0 7.4 5.3 6.1 4: 6.4 7.1 7.9 4.5 5.0 4.0 (Data is based on "Folacin Content of Tea," J. of the Amer. Dietetic Assoc., 1983: 627–632.) Does this data suggest that true average folacin content is the same for all brands? a. Carry out a test using a = .05 via the P-value method. b. Assess the plausibility of any assumptions required for your analysis in part (a). c. Perform a multiple comparisons analysis to identify significant differences among brands.

On snow-covered roads, winter tires enable a car to stop in a shorter distance than if summer tires were installed. In terms of the additive model for one-way ANOVA, and for an experiment in which the mean stopping distances on a snow-covered road are measured for each of four brands of winter tires. If the data are as shown in Sheet 48, what conclusion would be reached at the 0.01 level of significance?

A consumer group, concerned about the mean fat content of a certain grade of ground beef, submits a random sample 12 packets of ground beef for analysis, to an independent laboratory. The percentage of fat from each packet is as follows Sample Percentage of Fat 1 21 2 18 3 19 4 16 5 18 6 24 7 22 8 19 9 24 10 14 11 18 12 15 The manufacturer claims that the mean fat content for this grade of ground beef is less than 20%. Assuming that the percentage fat content is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3, conduct the appropriate hypothesis test and advise the consumer group about the validity of the manufacturer’s claim.
