Class Day/Time: Name: Type your Name STAT 146 Daily 9 One Factor ANOVA and Randomized Block Designs with Testing Assumptions Introduction to Interaction Plots Problem 1. The effective life (in hours) of batteries is compared by operating temperature: Low (-10˚C), Medium (20˚C) or High (45˚C). When studied, material type (1, 2 or 3) was also recorded and will be treated as a block variable. Twelve batteries are randomly selected from each material type and are then randomly allocated to each temperature level. The resulting life of all 36 batteries is shown below. Is there evidence that one operating temperature results in a longer mean battery life, when adjusted for differences in material type? The data set is called BatteryLife.mtw. 1a. Obtain descriptive (summary) statistics for the Battery life for each operating temperature (do not include the material type—it is not our factor of interest). Be sure you output produces the same results as mine. 1b. Rank the mean battery life for all three operating temperatures. 1c. Is there evidence that one operating temperature results in a longer battery life, when adjusting for differences in the material type? Show the testing process and Tukey’s comparisons, if needed. Form an overall conclusion that answers the question. (The Minitab output are provided to give you assurance that you are producing the correct output.) STAT 146 Intro to Stat II Daily 9 Page 1 of 2
1d. Check the assumptions for an ANOVA (i.e. check that the residuals are normal and run Levene’s test for equal variance). Be sure to summarize your overall findings. (The Minitab output are provided to give you assurance that you are producing the correct output.) Problem 2: Citizen’s State Bank is interested in comparing home appraisal companies. While some variability between companies on a particular property is to be expected, a systematic tendency to over value or under value the properties would indicate a problem. The manager randomly selects a sample of 5 properties and has each of their 3 appraisal companies submit an appraise value. The data file Appraisal Company.mtw is organized in three columns: C1 Property 1 = first property, 2 = second property,…, 5 = fifth property C2 Appraised Value Value assigned by the company C3 Appraisal Company CompanyA, CompanyB, and CompanyC 2a. Obtain descriptive (summary) statistics for the ‘Appraised Value’ for each ‘Appraisal Company’. 2b. Rank the means appraised values. 2c. Although we are not interested in studying the individual properties, we know that the correct analysis for these data is to use both Appraisal Company and Property (Blocking variable) as factors in an ANOVA model. Explain why the property should be used as a blocking variable. 2d. Is there evidence that one Company has a higher mean appraisal than the other two, after adjusting for differences in individual properties? Show the complete ANOVA testing process. Proceed to Tukey’s comparisons, if needed. Form an overall conclusion that answers the question. 2e. Check the assumptions for an ANOVA (Normality of the residuals and Levene’s test for equal variance). Be sure to summarize your overall findings. STAT 146 Intro to Stat II Daily 9 Page 2 of 2
