Chapter 10.2, Problem 15E
Exercise 10.7 described an experiment in which 26 resistivity observations were made on each of six different concrete mixtures. The article cited there gave the following sample means: 14.18, 17.94, 18.00, 18.00, 25.74, 27.67. Apply Tukey’s method with a simultaneous confidence level of 95% to identify significant differences, and describe your findings (use MSE = 13.929).

For a sample of 400 correctional officers at Lucasville State Prison, a researcher believes there is a relationship between “years on the job” and “willingness to help raise money for adult charities.” Using the following data, test the null hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that willingness to help raise donations does not differ by length of service as a correctional officer. In so doing, identify: (1) the research and null hypothesis, (2) the critical value needed to reject the null, (3) the decision that you made upon analyzing the data, and (4) the conclusion you have drawn based on the decision you have made.

Suggest an appropriate test for the data and analyze it at 1% level of significance.
After examining over one million online restaurant reviews and the associated weather conditions, Bakhshi, Kanuparthy, and Gilbert (2014) reported significantly higher ratings during moderate weather compared to very hot or very cold conditions. To verify this result, a researcher collected a sample of n=25 reviews of local restaurants over an unusually hot period during July and August and obtained an average rating of M=7.29. The complete set of reviews during the previous year averaged u=7.52 with a standard deviation of s=0.60.
a. Can the researcher conclude that reviews during hot weather are significantly lower than the general population average? Use a one-tailed test with a=.05.
b. Compute Cohen’s d to measure effect size for this study.
c. Write a sentence demonstrating how the outcome of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size would appear in a research report

- A trucking firm is considering the installation of a new, low-restriction engine air filter for its long-haul trucks, but doesn’t want to make the switch unless the new filter can be shown to improve the fuel economy of these vehicles. A test is set up in which each of 10 trucks makes the same run twice once with the old filtration system and once with the new version. Given the sample results shown below, use the 0.05 level of significance in determining whether the new filtration system could be superior.

- Morgan City Fire Chief Sidney Pyro is concerned about the low efficiency scores that his firefighters receive at the state testing institute. Chief Pyro believes that these scores result because some firefighters are not in good physical condition. Pyro orders 75 randomly selected firefighters to participate in an hour of exercise per day. Another 200 firefighters have no required exercise. After 60 days, all firefighters are tested again by the state. Chief Pyro collects the data and performs a two-sample independent t-test by using SPSS to examine if there is a statistically significant difference between the treatment and control groups; the SPSS results are shown in the table below.
