Textbook Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 19E
Testing Time to Breakdown Between All Pairs of Machines. Refer to exercise 18. Use the Bonferroni adjustment to test for a significant difference between all pairs of means. Assume that a maximum overall experiment wise error rate of .05 is desired.
18. Machine Breakdowns. To test for any significant difference in the number of hours between breakdowns for four machines, the following data were obtained.
- a. At the α = .05 level of significance, what is the difference, if any, in the population mean times among the four machines?
- b. Use Fisher’s LSD procedure to test for the equality of the means for machines 2 and 4. Use a .05 level of significance.

1. What does it imply if if more values are concentrated above the mean? (Skewness) And would the value of skewness be less than, greater than, or equal to 0?
2. In case the data is highly skewed, can we still rely on the kurtosis coefficient? Why or why not?
3. Can the z-score be a real measure of dispersion?
The united States ranks ninth in the world in per capita chocolate consumption; the aver- age American eats 9.5 pounds of chocolate annually (Forbes, July 22, 2015). Suppose you are curious whether chocolate consumption is higher in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the location of The Hershey Company’s corporate headquarters. A sample of 36 individuals from the Hershey area showed a sample mean annual consumption of 10.05 pounds and a standard devi- ation of s = 1.5 pounds. using α = 0.05, do the sample results support the conclusion that mean annual consumption of chocolate is higher in Hershey than it is throughout the united States?
Arsenic-based additives in chicken feed have been banned by the European Union. Ifa restaurant chain finds significant evidence that the mean arsenic level of theirchickens is above 80 ppb (parts per billion), the chain will stop using that supplier ofchicken meat. The hypotheses are:
H 0 : µ = 80H 1 : µ > 80
where µ represents the mean arsenic level in all chicken meat from that supplier.Samples from two different suppliers are analyzed, and the resulting p-values aregiven:
Sample from Supplier A: p-value is 0.0003Sample from Supplier B: p-value is 0.3500
a) Interpret each p-value in terms of the probability of the results happening byrandom chance.
b) Which p-value shows stronger evidence for the alternative hypothesis?
c) Which supplier, A or B, should the chain get chickens from in order to avoid toohigh a level of arsenic?

- What is the optimal time for a scuba diver to be on the bottom of the ocean? That depends on the depth of the dive. The US navy has done a lot of research on this topic. The navy defines the "optimal time" to be the time at each depth for the best balance between length of work period and decompression time after surfacing. Let x= depth of dive in meters and let y= optimal time in hours.
