Anticorrosive behavior of steel coated with epoxy. Organic coatings that use epoxy resins are widely used for protecting steel and metal against weathering and corrosion. Researchers at National Technical University (Athens. Greece) examined the steel anticorrosive behavior of different epoxy coatings formulated with zinc pigments in an attempt to find the epoxy coating with the best corrosion inhibition (Pigment & Resin Technology, Vo. 32, 2003). The experimental units were flat rectangular panels cut from steel sheets. Each panel was coated with one of four different coating systems. S1, S2, S3, and S4. Three panels were prepared for each coating system. (These panels are labeled S1-A, S1-B, S1-C. S2-A, S2-B.....S4-C.) The characteristics of the four coating systems are listed at the bottom of the page. Each coated panel was immersed in deionized and deaerated water and then tested for corrosion. Because exposure time is likely to have a strong influence on anticorrosive behavior the researchers attempted to remove this extraneous source of variation through the experimental design. Exposure times were fixed at 24 hours, 60 days, and 120 days. For each of the coating systems, one panel was exposed to water for 24 hours, one exposed to water for 60 days, and one exposed to water for 120 days in random order. The design is illustrated in :he accompanying table.
Exposure Time | Coating System/Panel Exposed |
24 hours | S1-A, S2-C, S3-C, S4-B |
60 days | S1-C, S2-A, S3-B, S4-A |
120 days | S1-B, S2-B, S3-A, S4-C |
Following exposure, the corrosion rate (nanoamperes per square centimeter) was determined for each panel. The lower the corrosion rate, the greater the anticorrosion performance of the coating system. The data are shown in the next table. Are there differences among the epoxy treatment means? If so, which of the epoxy coating systems yields the lowest corrosion rate?

- A case–control study of patients on antihypertensive drugs related an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) for patients using calcium channel blockers (Psaty, et al.,1995). In this study, cases were antihypertensive drug patients who had suffered a first fatal or nonfatal MI through 1993, and controls were antihypertensive patients, matched by demographic factors, who had not suffered a MI. Among the comparisons reported were patients receiving calcium channel (CC) blockers (with and without diuretics) and patients receiving β–blockers (with and without diuretics). Results of numbers of patient by drug/MI status combination are given in Table 1. Compute the odds ratio of suffering MI (CC blockers relative to β–blockers), and the corresponding 95% CI. Does it appear that calcium channel blockers are associated with higher odds (and thus probability) of suffering MI than β –blockers?

An experiment is designed to measure the effect of detergent brand and washing cycle time on the amount of dirt removed from standard household laundry loads. Four brands of detergent (A,B,C,D) and four levels of washing cycles (18, 20, 22, and 24 minutes) are specifically selected for analysis. 32 standard household laundry loads (having equal weight and dirt) are randomly assigned to the 16 detergent-washing cycle time combinations.

Twenty auto repair shops were randomly selected from the telephone book. Two cars of the same age, brand, and engine problem were used in the study. For each repair shop, the two cars were randomly assigned to a man and woman participant and then taken to the shop for an estimate of repair cost. The repair costs (in dollars) are given in data 4. Which procedure, t or Wilcoxon, is more appropriate in this situation? Why? Are repair costs generally higher for female customers than for male customers? data4 'RepairShop' 'Female' 'Male'1 871 7922 684 7653 795 5114 838 5205 1033 6186 917 4477 1047 5488 723 7209 1179…arrow_forwardDwyer, Figuerooa, Gasalla, and Lopez (2018) showed that learning of flavor preferences depends on the relative value of the reward with which a flavor is paired. In their experiment, rats received pairings of a cherry flavor with 8% sucrose solution after exposure to 32% sucrose solution, which made the 8% solution a relatively low value. On other trials, a grape flavor was paired with 8% sucrose solution after exposure to a 2% sucrose solution, which made the 8% solution a relatively high value. Thus, cherry was paired with a relatively low-value reward and grape was paired with a relatively high-value reward. They observed that rats consumed more in ounces of cherry flavor than grape flavor at a later test. Identify the independent and dependent variables for this study. What scale of measurement is the dependent variable? Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous? Imagine that the researcher reported that subject number 4 consumed 2.5 ounces of cherry-flavored water.…arrow_forward

The product-development team for a notebook computer company has shown picture A to a large sample of potential buyers and picture B to another, asking each person to indicate what they "would expect to pay" for such a product. The data resulting from the two pictures are provided in file (sheet 6). Using the 0.05 level of significance, determine whether the prototypes might not really differ in terms of the price that potential buyers would expect to pay.
