Chapter 11.4, Problem 19E
A study was conducted to determine the effects of sleep deprivation on subjects’ ability to solve simple problems. The amount of sleep deprivation varied over 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 hours without sleep. A total of ten subjects participated in the study, two at each sleep-deprivation level. After his or her specified sleep-deprivation period, each subject was administered a set of simple addition problems, and the number of errors was recorded. The results shown in the following table were obtained.
- a Find the least-squares line appropriate to these data.
- b Plot the points and graph the least-squares line as a check on your calculations.
- c Calculate S2.

The following data represent the results of a repeated-measures study comparing different viewing distances for a 42-inch-high-definition television. Four viewing distances were evaluated, 9 feet, 12 feet, 15 feet, and 18 feet. Each participant was free to move back and forth among the four distances while watching a 30-minute video on the television. The only restriction was that each person had to spend at least 2 minutes watching from each of the four distances. At the end of the video, each participant rated the all off of the viewing distances on a scale from 1 (very bad, definitely need to move closer or father way) to 7 (excellent, perfect viewing distance).
Use a repeated-measures ANOVA with alpha = 0.05 to determine whether there is significant difference among the four viewing distances.
A psychologist would like to examine the effects of a new drug on the activity level of animals. Three samples of rats are selected with n = 5 in each sample.
The rats in the first sample serve as a control and do not get any of the drug. The rats in the second group receive a small dose, and the rats in the third group
each get a large dose of the drug. The psychologist records the activity level for each animal. The data from this experiment are presented below.

Psychologists at Disney World measured factors that affect the scariness of the soundtrack for their Haunted House
ride. In particular, they were interested in the loudness of the screams (soft versus loud) and the length of the screams
(short versus long). They used a 2 × 2 factorial design to test how these factors combined. They collected data from
10 different riders in each of the four conditions. Each rider rated the scariness of the ride on a nine-point scale.
short screams
long screams
soft screams
T=38, n = 10, SS = 13.6
T=64, n = 10, SS = 22.4
loud screams
T=52, n=10, SS = 29.6
T=50, n=10, SS = 16.0
For these data: G = 204, N = 40, X2 = 1156.
1. Sketch a dataplot of the mean rating in each condition.
2. Calculate SS total, the total sum of squares
3. Calculate SSwithin, the within-treatments sum of squares.
4. Calculate SSbetween, the between-treatments sum of squares.
5. Calculate SSA the sum of squares for Factor A (length of scream).
6. Calculate SSB, the sum of squares…

- A researcher is interested in whether a new antidepressant drug D has an effect on people's self-rating of depression. She randomly assigns 12 people into two groups so that each group has 6 people. One group is given drug D daily, and the other group is not given drug D. Call these the Drug group and the No Drug group, respectively. After one month of treatment, all 12 people were asked to rate on a scale from 1 to 7 how depressed they felt, where 1 = not depressed at all and 7 = very depressed.

Three adjacent 1-inch squares are marked on the backs of 8 rats and each of the 3 chemicals is applied to each rat.
