A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. Compute the percentage of variance explained by the group differences for these data. Q: Percentage and variance explained = ?

Three products were used in a hot summer to keep the pool chlorine level high. Each product was used in 6 pools, and there was a total of 18 pools in the experiment. The same amount of chlorine was added to each pool (A, B, or C) and the conditions such as pool size, temperature, sun exposure etc. were similar. The chlorine levels (%) were measured and recorded after 24 hours of using the products. The percentages in the table below are the percentage of the chlorine added to the pool remaining after this 24 hours. The data is as follows: A 96 56 52 66 70 60 B 44 36 34 50 40 48 с 723227 34 40 20 24 a) Find the overall mean of the chlorine level across all the pools measured, and then find the mean of the chlorine level for each product.
