Suppose that, when setting up the experiment in Problem 11.54, the operations manager is able to study the effect of side-to-side aspect in addition to air-jet pressure. Thus, instead of the one-factor completely randomized design in Problem 11.54, a two-factor factorial design was used, with the first factor, side-to-side aspect, having two levels (nozzle and opposite) and the second factor, air-jet pressure, having three levels (30 psi, 40 psi, and 50 psi). A sample of 18 yarns is randomly assigned, 3 to each of the 6 side-to-side aspect and pressure level combinations. The breaking-strength scores, stored in Yarn, are as follows:
At the 0.05 level of significance,
a. is there an interaction between side-to-side aspect and air-jet pressure?
b. is there an effect due to side-to-side aspect?
c. is there an effect due to air-jet pressure?
d. Plot the
e. If appropriate, use the Tukey procedure to study differences among the air-jet pressures.
f. On the basis of the results of (a) through (e), what conclusions can you reach concerning yam breaking strength? Discuss.
g. Compare your results in (a) through (t) with those from the completely randomized design in Problem 11.38. Discuss fully.

- A researcher is examining the effects of weight status and hunger on eating behavior. In this 2 X 2 factor study, participants (obese vs. normal weight) are randomly assigned to participate in one of two hunger status conditions (full stomach vs. empty stomach). Then during the study, participants are presented with crackers to eat. The researcher is looking to see if weight status, hunger status and an interaction between the two influence eating behavior. Considering this data, what would be the statistical and null hypothesis for the main effect for weight status? Select one: a. H1: μobese = μnormal weight Ho: μobese ≠ μnormal weight b. H1: μfull stomach ≠ μempty stomach Ho: μfull stomach = μempty stomach c. H1: μfull stomach = μempty stomach, Ho: μfull stomach ≠ μempty stomach d. H1: μobese ≠ μnormal weight Ho: μobese = μnormal weightarrow_forwardProblem 3, Colquhoun (2014) claimed that, "if you use p=0.05 to suggest that you have made a discovery, you will be wrong at least 30% of the time." He uses the following example. Suppose you pick a drug at random from 1000 candidate drugs and run a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the drug truly is effective. You perform a hypothesis test that has a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 0.8. A Write the null and alternative hypothesis for this hypothesis test, using words only (no math). B What is the probability of committing a Type l Error on this single hypothesis test? C. hat is the probability of committing a Type Il Error on this single hypothesis test? D. If you independently run experiments and hypothesis tests for four drugs, what is the probability of committing at least one Type l Error when performing the four hypothesistests? E. 10% of the drugs truly have an effect, and the other 90% are no different from placebo. Find the probability that your…arrow_forwardStudy 1: A study of 300 high school students was done. Half of them were instructed to drink soda every day. The other half was instructed to not drink soda at all. After one month, the half that were drinking soda had gained an average of five pounds more than the half that did not drink soda. e. How could this study be changed to make it a double-blind study?arrow_forward
- Question 2: An international private school called IWB has two branches in the GCC countries, one in Oman and another in Kuwait. IWB manager believes that there is no difference in the student enrollment rate for their branch in Oman and the branch in Kuwait. A random sample of 25 students from Oman's branch was selected. The student enrollment rate in the sample found to be 24%. Another random sample of 30 students from the branch in Kuwait showed an enrolment rate of 27%. a. Find a point estimate for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries (Oman and Kuwait). b. Find a point estimate of the standard deviation for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries. c. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions for the two countries. d. State the null and alternative hypotheses. e. Test the hypothesis stated in Part d at the 1% significance level. f. What do you conclude?arrow_forwardCH. 11. 3. Engineers are testing company fleet vehicle fuel economy (miles per gallon) performance by using different types of fuel. One vehicle of each size is tested.

- A researcher is comparing the occurrence of nausea as a side-effect in two brands of medication: Brand A and Brand B. For a random sample of 150 Brand A users, 66 experienced nausea as a side-effect. For a random sample of 200 Brand B users, 118 experienced nausea as a side-effect. Can the researcher conclude that the proportion of all Brand A users who experience nausea as a side-effect is different from the proportion of all Brand B users who experience nausea as a side-effect. For the hypothesis testing scenario above, the researcher concludes that the two proportions are different at the 0.01 significance level. Compute the 99% confidence interval to estimate the difference.arrow_forwardThe research and development (R&D) department of a paint manufacturer recently developed a new paint product. The developers are concerned the average area covered per gallon will be less for the new paint than for the existing product. To investigate this concern, the R&D department set up a test in which two random samples of paint were selected. The first sample consisted of 25 one-gallon containers of the company's existing product, and the second of 15 one-gallon containers of the new paint. The statistics shown were computed from eachsample and refer to the number of square feet that each gallon will cover. Based on the sample data, what should the developers conclude using a significance level of 0.05? Assume the populations are normally distributed with equal variances.Current Paint New Paint Current Paint New Paint x1 = Current Paint Column 423 sq. feet x2 = New Paint Column 418 sq feet s1 = 21.7 s2 =…arrow_forwardYou also conducted a review of the research literature and found that similar studies examining the relationship between alcohol consumption and liver cancer found the following: Smithson et al.

From the records of seasonal blood survey (SBS) results he came to understand that the proportion of people having malaria in Zambia was 3.8% in 2015. The size of the sample considered was 15,000. He also realized that during the year that followed (2016), blood samples were taken from 10,000 randomly selected persons. The result of the 2016 seasonal blood survey showed that 200 persons were positive for malaria. Help the Health officer in testing the hypothesis that the malaria situation of 2016 did not show any significant difference from that of 2015 (take the 5% level of significance).arrow_forwardquestion(8): A researcher was interested in the effect in the effect of job security on stress.
