To assess the effect of piston ring type and oil type on piston ring wear, three types of piston ring and four types of oil were studied. Three replications of an experiment, in which the number of milligrams of material lost from the ring in four hours of running was measured, were carried out for each of the 12 combinations of oil type and piston ring type. With oil type as the row effect and piston ring type as the column effect, the following sums of squares were observed: SSA = 1.0926, SSB = 0.9340, SSAB = 0.2485, SSE = 1.7034.
- a. How many degrees of freedom are there for the effect of oil type?
- b. How many degrees of freedom are there for the effect of piston ring type?
- c. How many degrees of freedom are there for interactions?
- d. How many degrees of freedom are there for error?
- e. Construct an ANOVA table. You may give
ranges for the P-values. - f. Is the additive model plausible? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
- g. Is it plausible that the main effects of oil type are all equal to 0? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
- h. Is it plausible that the main effects of piston ring type are all equal to 0? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.

- In a study of a group of women science majors who remained in their profession and a group who left their profession within a few months of graduation, the researchers collected the data shown here on a self-esteem questionnaire. Leavers Stayers1 = 3.05 2 = 2.92σ1 = 0.71 σ2 = 0.71n1 = 100 n2 = 227At α = 0.05, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the self-esteem scores of the two groups?

The company selected a random sample of 150 bags from the old machine and found that 15 percent of the bags were damaged, then selected a random sample of 200 bags from the new machine and found that 8 percent were damaged. Let pˆOp^O represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the old machine that are damaged, pˆNp^N represent the sample proportion of bags packaged on the new machine that are damaged, pˆCp^C represent the combined proportion of damaged bags from both machines, and nOnO and nNnN represent the respective sample sizes for the old machine and new machine. Have the conditions for statistical inference for testing a difference in population proportions been met? No, the condition for independence has not been met, because random samples were not selected.

- In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To determine if the highway has disturbed deer migration to the winter feeding area, the following data were gathered on a random sample of 10 wilderness districts in the winter feeding area. Row B represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period before the highway was built, and row A represents the average January deer count for a 5-year period after the highway was built. The highway department claims that the January population has not changed. Test this claim against the claim that the January population has dropped. Use a 5% level of significance. Units used in the table are hundreds of deer. (Let d = B − A.)

A statistically-minded fan of the Philadelphia Phillies (whose team color is red) wonders if fans who park at Citizens Bank Park (the Phillies home field) are more likely to drive red cars. One day during a home game, he takes an SRS of 210 cars parked in the lot while a game is being played, and counts 35 red cars. (There are 21,000 parking spaces.) Is this convincing evidence that Phillies fans prefer red cars more than the general population? Provide statistical evidence to support your conclusion. Use the 4-step process.arrow_forwardA manager at ACME Equipment Sale and Rental wondered how offering a free two-year service warranty on its tractors might influence sales. For the next 500 customers expressing interest in purchasing a tractor, 250 were randomly offered the warranty and the rest were not. Ninety-three of those offered the warranty, and fifty-four of those not offered the warranty eventually purchased a tractor. b. Test the hypothesis that offering the warranty increases the proportion of customers who eventually purchase a tractor. Be sure to check all necessary assumptions, state the null and alternative hypotheses, obtain the p-value, and state your conclusion. Should the manager offer the warranty based on this test?arrow_forward
- A researcher used one-factor ANOVA for independent samples to examine the effectiveness of four workout videos. Students who enrolled to the study were divided into four groups with n = 21 participants in each group. Each group exercised to a different workout video and afterwards, all participants completed a survey evaluating the effectiveness of their workout.
