Chapter 13, Problem 40SE
Fuel Efficiency of Gasoline Brands. A research firm tests the miles-per-gallon characteristics of three brands of gasoline. Because of different gasoline performance characteristics in different brands of automobiles, five brands of automobiles are selected and treated as blocks in the experiment: that is, each brand of automobile is tested with each type of gasoline. The results of the experiment (in miles per gallon) follow.
- a. At α = .05, is there a significant difference in the mean miles-per-gallon characteristics of the three brands of gasoline?
- b. Analyze the experimental data using the ANOVA procedure for completely randomized designs. Compare your findings with those obtained in part (a). What is the advantage of attempting to remove the block effect?

1. A new drug for pain relief is being tested within a given palliative care population. The new drug is being compared to an already approved pain relief drug that is commonly used in providing palliative care to patients who experience chronic severe pain. Assume the patients are asked to rate the pain on a scale from 1 to 10, and the data presented below was obtained from a small study designed to compare the effectiveness of the two drugs. Set up and interpret the results of a Mann-Whitney U test with an alpha of .05.Pain Rating as Reported by PatientsOld Drug 1 3 3 4 6 New Drug 1 2 3 3 7
A) We fail to reject H0, which states the two populations are equal at the alpha equals .05 level because the calculated U value of 10.5 is greater than the critical U value of 2.B) We fail to reject H0, which states the two populations are equal at the alpha equals .05 level because the calculated U value of 14.5 is greater than the critical U value of 2.C) We reject H0 in favor of H1, which…
