Chapter 10.1, Problem 4E

It is common practice in many countries to destroy (shred) refrigerators at the end of their useful lives. In this process material from insulating foam may be released into the atmosphere. The article “Release of Fluorocarbons from Insulation Foam in Home Appliances During Shredding” (J. of the Air and Waste Mgmt. Assoc., 2007: 1452–1460) gave the following data on foam density (g/L) for each of two refrigerators produced by four different manufacturers:

  1. 1. 30.4, 29.2
  1. 2. 27.7, 27.1
  1. 3. 27.1, 21.8
  1. 4. 25.5, 28.8

Does it appear that true average foam density is not the same for all these manufacturers? Carry out an appropriate test of hypotheses by obtaining as much P-value information as possible, and summarize your analysis in an ANOVA table.

The article “Wastewater Treatment Sludge as a Raw Material for the Production of Bacillus thuringiensis Based Biopesticides” (M. Tirado Montiel, R. Tyagi, and J. Valero, Water Research, 2001:3807–3816) presents measurements of total solids, in g/L, for seven sludge specimens. The results (rounded to the nearest gram) are 20, 5, 25, 43, 24, 21, and 32. Assume the distribution of total solids is approximately symmetric. a) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is greater than 14 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. b) Can you conclude that the mean concentration of total solids is less than 30 g/L? Compute the appropriate test statistic and find the P-value. c) An environmental engineer claims that the mean concentration of total solids is equal to 18 g/L. Can you conclude that the claim is false?
The department of zoology at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University carried out a study to determine if there is a significant difference in the density of organisms in two different stations located in Cedar Run, a secondary river that is located in the river basin. Roanoke. Drainage from a sewage treatment plant and overflow from the Federal Mogul Corporation sedimentation pond enter the flow near the source of the river. The following data give the density measurements, in numbers of organisms per square meter, at the two different collecting stations. Number of organisms per square meter Station 1 Station 2 5030 2800 13700 4670 10730 6890 11400 7720 860 7030 2200 7330 4250 2810 15040 1330 4980 3320 11910 1230 8130 2130 26850 2190 17660   22800   1130   1690   With a significance level of 0.05, can we conclude that the densities are the same in the two…
An experiment was conducted to study the extrusion process of biodegradable packaging foam. Two of the factors considered for their effect on the unit density (mg/ml) were the die temperature (145 °C vs. 155 °C) and the die diameter (3 mm vs. 4 mm). The results are stored in [Packaging Foam 1]. Source: Data extracted from W. Y. Koh, K. M. Eskridge, and M. A. Hanna, "Supersaturated Split-Plot Designs," Journal of Quality Technology, 45, January 2013, pp. 61-72.At the 0.05 level of significance, 3mm 4mm 57.22 145 72.54 145 53.60 66.70 145 48.13 49.28 145 69.89 44.14 145 62.78 58.37 145 55.18 53.98 155 57.50 63.03 155 54.17 46.73 155 73.86 60.17 155 90.28 46.78 155 88.19 43.27 155 82.61 56.93 Die Temperature a. is there an interaction between die temperature and die diameter? b. is there an effect due to die temperature? c. is there an effect due to die diameter? d.
