If Elliot collects data from a single sample and her dependent variable is assessed on a nominal scale, which of these difference tests would Elliot need to use to analyze her data?
A. a single-sample t test
B. a single-sample z test
C. a between-subjects ANOVA
D. a chi-square goodness-of-fit test
A series of tests of fire prevention sprinkler systems that use a foaming agent to quell the fire were performed to determine how long it took (in seconds) for the sprinklers to be activated after the detection of a fire by the system. The system has been designed so that the true average activation time is supposed to be at most 25 seconds. Do the data strongly indicate that the design specifications have not been met?
The data for the test are given below:
27 41 22 27 23 35 30
33 24 27 28 22 24
A manufacturer of paper used for making grocery bags is interested in improving the tensile strength of the product. Product engineering thinks that tensile strength is a function of the hard-wood concentration in the pulp and that the range of hardwood concentrations of practical interest is between 5 and 20%. A team of engineers responsible for the study decides to investigate four levels of hardwood concentration: 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. They decide to make up six test specimens at each concentration level, using a pilot plant. Using the data given below:
a. Complete the ANOVA table.
b. At 0.05 significance level, test whether there is a difference in mean tensile strength based on Hardwood Concentration.
