The operations manager for an appliance manufacturer wants to determine the optimal length of time for the washing cycle of a household clothes washer. 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. The results (in pounds of dirt removed) are: Washing Cycle Time (in Minutes) Brand 18 20 22 24 A 0.11 0.13 0.17 0.17 0.09 0.13 0.19 0.18 В 0.12 0.14 0.17 0.19 0.1 0.15 0.18 0.17 0.08 0.16 0.18 0.2 2 0.09 0.13 0.17 0.16 D 0.11 0.12 0.16 0.15 0.13 0.13 0.17 0.17 Perform a Two-way Analysis of Variance with Replication in Excel and output the ANOVA table assuming a 5% level of significance. Is there a significant interaction between detergent brand and washing cycle time? Why or why not?

Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.

Normal Distribution

Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
