The article “T-Bracing for Stability of Compression Webs in Wood Trusses” (R. Leichti, I. Hofaker, et al., Journal of Structural Engineering, 2002:374–381) presents results of experiments in which critical buckling loads (in kN) for T-braced assemblies were estimated by a finite-element method. The following table presents data in which the factors are the length of the side member and its method of attachment. There were 10 replications for each combination of factors. The data are consistent with the means and standard deviations given in the article.

- a. Compute all main effects and interactions.
- b. Construct an ANOVA table. You may give
ranges for the P values. - c. Is the additive model plausible? Provide the value of a test statistic and the P-value.
- d. Can the effect of attachment method (nail versus adhesive) on the critical buckling load be described by interpreting the main effects of attachment method? If so, interpret the main effects. If not, explain why not.
- e. Can the effect of side member length on the critical buckling load be described by interpreting the main effects of side member length? If so, interpret the main effects, using multiple comparisons at the 5% level if necessary. If not, explain why not.

Suppose a sports blogger wrote an article claiming that a majority of adults from this country believe that colleges and universities with big sports programs place too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Does this confidence interval support the blogger's claim? Explain your reasoning. A. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval contains 50%. B.

In the book Design and Analysis of Experiments, 8th edition (2012, John Wiley & Sons), the results of an experiment involving a storage battery used in the launching mechanism of a shoulder-fired ground-to-air missile were presented. Three material types can be used to make the battery plates. The objective is to design a battery that is relatively unaffected by the ambient temperature. The output response from the battery is effective life in hours. Three temperature levels are selected, and a factorial experiment with four replicates is run. The data are as follows: Table 11.(a) Test the appropriate hypotheses and draw conclusions using the analysis ether either firing temperature or furnace position affects the baked density of a carbon anode.

- The article “Differences in Susceptibilities of Different Cell Lines to Bilirubin Damage” (K. Ngai, C. Yeung, and C. Leung, Journal of Paediatric Child Health, 2000:36–45) reports an investigation into the toxicity of bilirubin on several cell lines. Ten sets of human liver cells and 10 sets of mouse fibroblast cells were placed into solutions of bilirubin in albumin with a 1.4 bilirubin/albumin molar ratio for 24 hours. In the 10 sets of human liver cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 53.9 with a standard deviation of 10.7. In the 10 sets of mouse fibroblast cells, the average percentage of cells surviving was 73.1 with a standard deviation of 9.1. Find a 98% confidence interval for the difference in survival percentages between the two cell lines.arrow_forwardIn a public opinion survey, 60 out of a sample of 100 high income voters and 40 out of a sample of 75 low income voters supported a decrease in value added tax VAT.
