Chapter 15.6, Problem 15.58ACB
Condit ions impeding farm production. A review of farmer involvement in agricultural research was presented in the Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics (March 2001). In one study, each of six farmers ranked the level of farm production constraint imposed by five conditions: drought, pest damage, weed interference, farming costs, and labor shortage. The rankings,
Data for Exercise 15.58
- a. Use the rank sums shown in the table to compute the Friedman Fr statistic.
- b. At α = .05, find the rejection region for a test to compare the farmer opinion distributions for the five conditions.
- c. Make the proper conclusion, in the words of the problem.

Acupuncture. Research reported in 2008 brings to lightthe effectiveness of treating chronic lower back pain withdifferent methods. One-third of nearly 1200 volunteers
were administered conventional treatment (drugs, physi-cal therapy, and exercise). The remaining patients got
30-minute acupuncture sessions. Half of these patientswere punctured at sites suspected of being useful andhalf received needles at other spots on their bodies.Comparable shares of each acupuncture group, roughly45%, reported decreased back pain for at least six monthsafter their sessions ended. This was almost twice as highas those receiving the conventional therapy, leading theresearchers to conclude that results were statisticallysignificant.a) Why did the researchers feel it was necessary to havesome of the patients undergo a “fake” acupuncture?b) Because patients had to consent to participate in thisexperiment, the subjects were essentially self-selected—a kind of voluntary response group. Explain why…
A hospital wants to assess the relative diagnostic performance of its four mammography imaging systems. Six radiologists—three experts and three in training—participated in an ROC study. Each radiologist read a set of truth-ascertained images from each camera, evenly divided between diseased and normal cases. An area under the ROC curve was computed for each radiologist and camera, as indicated in the table.
Conduct a two-way fixed-effects ANOVA using camera and observer experience as variables. Include the interaction effect in the analysis. Summarize the results in a table. Please show step by step so that I can replicate the solution on my own.
Stores, a division of National Clothing, is a chain of women’s apparel stores operating throughout the country. The chain recently ran a promotion in which discount coupons were sent to customers of other National Clothing stores. Data collected for a sample of 100 in-store credit card transactions at Pelican Stores during one day while the promotion was running are contained in the file PelicanStores. Table 3.13 shows a portion of the data set.
The Proprietary Card method of payment refers to charges made using a National Clothing charge card. Customers who made a purchase using a discount coupon are referred to as promotional customers and customers who made a purchase but did not use a discount coupon are referred to as regular customers. Because the promotional coupons were not sent to regular Pelican Stores customers, management considers the sales made to people presenting the promotional coupons as sales it would not otherwise make. Of course, Pelican also hopes that the…

One “mother” was made from bare wire mesh and contained a baby bottle from which the infants could feed. The other mother was made from soft terry cloth and did not provide any access to food. Harlow observed the infant monkeys and recorded how much time per day was spent with each mother. In atypical day, the infants spent a total of 18 hours clinging to one of the two mothers. If there were no preference between the two, you would expect the time to be divided evenly, with an average of μ=9 hours for each of the mothers. However, the typical monkey spent around 15 hours per day with the terry-cloth mother, indicating a strong preference for the soft, cuddly mother. Suppose a sample of n=9 infant monkeys averaged M=15.3 hours per day with SS=216 with the terry-cloth mother. Is this result sufficient to conclude that the monkeys spent significantly more time with…arrow_forward
