Four different formulations of an industrial glue are being tested. Each of the different formulations were randomly applied to joint parts of five test specimen and the tensile strength of the glue when it is applied to each test specimen is recorded. However, the tensile strength is also related to the application thickness. The data on the strength (in lbs) and thickness (in 0.01 inches) are shown in the following table.
Assuming all assumptions for ANOVA/ANACOVA to be valid are satisfied, perform the NECESSARY tests of hypotheses to determine if there are differences on the different formulations of an industrial glue at 5% level of significance.
a. What are the sample estimates of β0,β1,and β2?
b. What is the least squares prediction equation?
c. FindSSE,MSE,and standard deviation . Interpret the standard deviation in the context of the problem.
d. Test H0: β1=0 against Ha: β1≠0.Use α=0.01.
e. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate β2.
f. Find R2 and R^2_a and interpret these values.
g. Find the test statistic for testing H0: β1=β2=0.
h. Find the observed significance level of the test in part g.interpret the result.
The confidence intervals discussed thus far give both a lower confidence bound and an upper confi-
dence bound for the parameter being estimated. In some circumstances, an investigator will want
only one of those two types of bounds. For example, a psychologist may want only an upper
confidence bound for true average reaction time to a particular stimulus.
Suppose you work on a large-sample n from a population with known variance o2 so that the CLT
can be applied. i.e. the quantity
X
x-μ
o/√n
is approximately normal. Prove (derive) that a (1 - a)100% upper confidence bound for u is of the
form
(-00, X + 2a- — /m)
