Researchers collected seeds from a certain wild plant and planted them in groups of kin (seeds of the same mother plant) or non-kin (seeds from different plants). Each group of four seeds was planted either together in one pot or in a cluster of four pots that contained the same volume of soil. After eight weeks, the researchers measured the amount of roots each plant had produced. They found that related plants grown together in one pot produced smaller root systems so as not to compete with one another. Plants grown in separate containers and non-kin plants grown in a single container had 15% more roots.

Three different corrosion-resistant coatings are being considered for use on iron pipes. Ten pieces of pipe are marked off in six equal segments. For each pipe, two segments received coating A, two received coating B, and the remaining two received coating C. The pipes were placed in a corrosive environment for a period of time; then the depth of the deepest pit (in mm) caused by corrosion was measured for each segment on each pipe. The effect of interest is the coating; the pipe is a blocking factor, and there were two replications on each pipe. The following sums of squares were calculated: sum of squares for blocks = 11.2, sum of squares for treatments = 4.8, sum of squares for interactions = 18.4, total sum of squares = 44.7. a) Construct an ANOVA table. You may give ranges for the P-values. b) Are the assumptions for a randomized complete block design satisfied? Explain. c) Does the ANOVA table provide evidence that mean pit depth differs among coatings? Explain.
The effect of curing pressure on bond strength was tested for four different adhesives. There were three levels of curing pressure. Five replications were performed for each combination of curing pressure and adhesive. With adhesive as the row factor and curing pressure as the column factor, the sums of squares were: SSA = 155.7, SSB = 287.9, SSAB = 156.7, and SST = 997.3. a) Construct an ANOVA table. You may give ranges for the P-values. b) Is the additive model plausible? Explain. c) Is it plausible that the main effects of curing pressure are all equal to 0? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value. d) Is it plausible that the main effects of adhesive are all equal to 0? Provide the value of the test statistic and the P-value.
Based on Angel et al. (2003). A fertilizer companyis trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix thatprovides desired amounts of nutrients. The mix ismade by combining the following fertilizers: SSA,SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The mix cannot contain both GUR and TSP. The percentage ofpotassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na)and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed in the fileP06_88.xlsx. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% Kand 26% Na. The mix must contain at least 600 poundsof K, 550 pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 poundsof Na, and 750 pounds of P. The mix cannot containboth GUR and TSP, because if both are present in themix, the affect of other fertilizers is nullified. The costper pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is listed in thesame file. Develop a linear integer model to find theminimum-cost fertilizer mixture that meets the statedchemical requirements.
A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the consumption of the two candy bars. Candy Bar A Candy Bar B Number of Candy Bars eaten within a month 10, 30, 5, 35, 60, 3, 20, 30, 28, 27, 26, 27, 17, 25 12, 20 With a = .05, determine the critical value of t* that needs to be employed here. The value of the appropriate of t* is: 2.145 O 1.717 2.064 2.819 2.074 O The correct answer is not listed.

A researcher evaluates a new growth hormone. One sample of rats is raised with the hormone in their diet and a second sample is raised without the hormone. After 6 months, the researcher weighs each rat to determine whether the rats in one group are significantly larger than the rats in the other group. A second researcher measures femininity for each individual in a group of 10-year-old girls who are all daughters of mothers who work outside of the home. These scores are then compared with corresponding measurements obtained from girls who are all daughters of mothers who work at home. The researcher hopes to show that one group is significantly more feminine than the other. Explain why the first researcher is probably not concerned about the validity of the measurement, whereas the second researcher probably is. (Hint: What variable is each researcher measuring and how will it be measured?)
Cholesterol Testing. A large health care organization uses three laboratories for the routine analysis of blood samples. It is important that the three labs provide equivalent test results. To check that, blood samples are obtained from 10 randomly selected individuals; each blood sample is then divided into three blood subsamples of equal volume; and then the three blood subsamples from each person are sent to different labs. For this problem, the analysis is confined to assessing the measurement of the total cholesterol level for a person. The data are in the following table.

An investigative journalist is writing a report about the amount of sodium in snack foods. They believe name-brand snack foods have higher sodium levels than store-brand snack foods. They randomly select 8 pairs of common snack food types (purchasing a name-brand and store-brand for each type) and use a lab to determine how much sodium is in every 100 grams of snack food. Note: d=(Name-brand−Store-brand) Name-brand (in milligrams) Store-brand (in milligrams) 519 519 469 462 418 410 328 327 741 740 637 632 282 270 554 541 Assume that both of the populations are normally distributed. At the 0.10 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence to show there are higher sodium levels for name-brand snacks than store-brand snacks? Find the test statistic, t0. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
A new procedure mixing Calcium hydroxide and Calcium silicate hydride nanotubes with concrete has been developed, and the strengths of various concrete specimens have been measured based on the relative proportion of calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydride tubes.3 treatments are shown in the table below, 100% calcium hydroxide, 50% Calcium Hydroxide and 50% Calcium silicate hydride, and 100% calcium silicate hydride, all added as ~ 1% of the mixture to the concrete . Eight samples of each were used to produce the means and variances. A) Run ANOVA on this data to see if there are any differences B) Why might classical ANOVA be inappropriate for this data set?
Rivers in North Carolina contain small concentrations of mercury that can accumulate in fish over their lifetimes. The concentration of mercury in fish tissue can be obtained by catching fish and sending samples to a lab for analysis. A study was conducted on fish from the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers to investigate mercury levels in tissues of largemouth bass. At several stations along each river a group of fish were caught, weighed and measured; in addition a filet from each fish was sent to a lab so that the tissue concentration of mercury could be determined. In all, 171 fish were caught at 15 different research stations along the Waccamaw and Lumber Rivers. Data from fish caught at one of these stations is shown in the following table: length weight 1616 47.0 1862 48.7 2855 55.7 1199 45.2 1320 44.7 1225 43.8 870 38.5 1455 45.8 1220 44.0 1033 40.4 Compute the correlation between length and weight for these fish.
