Chapter 9, Problem 9.93ACB
Study of mutual fund performance. Refer to Exercise 9.92. Using an experimentwise error rate of .05, Tukey confidence intervals for the difference between mean rates of return for all possible pairs of fund types are given below.
| Comparison | Tukey Confidence Interval |
| μLarge − μMedium | (−.1847, 5.3807) |
| μLarge − μSmall | (2 4426, 8.0080) |
| μMedium −μSmall | (−.1554, 5.4100) |
- a. Why is the Tukey multiple comparisons method preferred over another method?
- b. Is there a significant difference between the treatment means for large-cap and medium-cap mutual funds? Explain.
- c. Is there a significant difference between the treatment means for large-cap and small-cap mutual funds? Explain.
- d. Is there a significant difference between the treatment means for medium-cap and small-cap mutual funds? Explain.
- e. Use your answers to parts b-d to rank the treatment means.
- f. Give a measure of reliability for the inference in part e.

(f) Suppose you and your business associates rent a store, get a bank loan to start up your business, and do a little research on the size of your sales district and the number of competing stores in the district. If x2 = 2.8, x3 = 250, x4 = 3.1, x5 = 7.3, and x6 = 2, use a computer to forecast x1 = annual net sales and find an 80% confidence interval for your forecast (if your software produces prediction intervals). (Use 2 decimal places.)

Using the table above, state the confidence interval (round the bounds to three decimal places), and then interpret your confidence interval and be specific.
6.11 Part I of the National Health Plan According to a poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2019, 79 percent of Democrats, 55 percent of Independents, and 24 percent of Republicans support a generic "National Health Plan."
347 Democrats, 298 Republicans, and 617 Independents were polled.
(a) A political pundit on TV claims that a majority of Independents support a National Health Plan. Do
these data provide strong evidence to support this type of statement?
(b) Would you expect a confidence interval for the proportion of Independents who oppose the public option
plan to include 0.5? Explain
