A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period. Stores Design A Design B Design C Design D 1 40 33 37 38 2 45 27 32 40 3 43 31 30 41 4 44 38 40 42 5 56 45 49 42 Enter the above data into a suitable software and then conduct an analysis of variance without blocking to test whether there is evidence of a significant difference in mean sales of different package designs. Use alpha=0.01. What is the conclusion for the null hypothesis that all treatment means are equal? O Do not reject HO. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average sales for all stores are not…

The stated goal of a chain of service stores is to provide a lube and oil change for anyone's automobile in 15 minutes. The manager at one store thinks that there is a growing disparity among his workers in the time it takes to lube and change the oil of an automobile. To monitor this, the manager has selected a sample of 20 days and has recorded the time it took five randomly selected employees to service an automobile. The data are found below. Complete parts a through d Click the icon to view the data. a. The manager noticed that the longest time it took to service a car was 25.73 minutes. Suppose the distribution of fimes to service a car was normal, with a mean of 15. Without analyzing the sample data, use your knowledge of a normal distribution to give the manager an estimate for the population standard deviation for the time it takes to service a car. The standard deviation is minutes. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Use the data to construct an x- and an R-chart.…

Mandrake Falls High School is providing a weekend course in laboratory techniques to its laboratory students. Of the 200 students enrolled in lab classes at Mandrake, 75 have taken the weekend course. Mandrake is evaluating the course's effectiveness by having its lab instructors record harmful lab "incidents": accidents, misuse of lab equipment, etc. The contingency table below gives a summary of the data that have been gathered so far for Mandrake's 200 lab students. Each student is classified according to two variables: status regarding lab techniques course ("Took the course" or "Didn't take the course") and laboratory performance ("Involved in no incident", "Involved in exactly one incident", or "Involved in 2+ incidents"). In the cells of the table are the respective observed frequencies. Note that three of the cells also have blanks. Fill in these blanks with the frequencies expected if the two variables, status regarding lab techniques course and laboratory performance, are…
Over a nine-month period, OutdoorGearLab tested hardshell jackets designed for ice climbing, mountaineering, and backpacking. Based on the breathability, durability, versatility, features, mobility, and weight of each jacket, an overall rating ranging from 0 (lowest) to 15 (highest) was assigned to each jacket tested. The following data show the results for 10 top-of-the line jackets (OutdoorGearLab website, February 27, 2013). Answer questions 10-14. Table 2. 5 12 6 8 5 6 7 5 12 4 Question 10 1 Refer to Table 2.

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 = ?
A substance abuse counselor wants to demonstrate the effect of situational stress on alcohol cravings. He recruits two groups of men who are similar in respect to history of alcohol use and demographic variables. He divides them in to two groups. In one group(n=11), the men are exposed to a stressful situation and then asked to complete a measure rating their alcohol cravings on a scale from 0-10, where 0 representsno cravings and 10 represents intense cravings. In the second group (n=10), the men are exposed to a neutral situation and asked to complete the same measure. What test and graph should I create to find out if a stressful situation result in more intense alcohol cravings than a non-stressful situation?

The authors of a paper randomly selected two samples of patients admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. One sample was selected from patients who received biofeedback weight training for 8 weeks, and the other sample was selected from patients who did not receive this training. At the end of 8 weeks, the time it took (in seconds) to stand from a sitting position and then to sit down again (called sit-stand-sit time) was measured for the people in each sample. Data consistent with summary quantities given in the paper are given below. For purposes of this exercise, you can assume that the samples are representative of the population of stroke patients who receive the biofeedback training and the population of stroke patients who do not receive this training.

The Chamber of Commerce in a Canadian city has conducted an evaluation of 300 restaurants in its metropolitan area. Each restaurant received a rating on a 3-point scale on typical meal price (1 least expensive to 3 most expensive) and quality (1 lowest quality to 3 greatest quality). A crosstabulation of the rating data is shown below. Forty-two of the restaurants received a rating of 1 on quality and 1 on meal price, 39 of the restaurants received a rating of 1 on quality and 2 on meal price, and so on. Forty-eight of the restaurants received the highest rating of 3 on both quality and meal price. Quality (x) Meal Price (y) Total 1 2 3 1 42 39 3 84 2 33 63 54 150 3 3 15 48 66 Total 78 117 105 300 (a) Develop a bivariate probability distribution for quality and meal price of a randomly selected restaurant in this Canadian city.
