Instructions: You may use Excel, MegaStat, Minitab, JMP, or another computer package of your choice. Attach appropriate copies of the output or capture the screens, tables, and relevant graphs and include them in a written report. Try to state your conclusions succinctly in language that would be clear to a decision maker who is a nonstatistician. Exercises marked * are based on optional material. Answer the following questions, or those your instructor assigns.

a. Choose an appropriate ANOVA model. State the hypotheses to be tested.
b. Display the data visually (e.g., dot plots or line plots by factor). What do the displays show?
c. Do the ANOVA calculations using the computer.
d. State the decision rule for α = .05 and make the decision. Interpret the p-value.
e. In your judgment, are the observed differences in treatment means (if any) large enough to be of practical importance?
f. Given the nature of the data, would more data collection be practical?
g. Perform Tukey multiple comparison tests and discuss the results.
h. Perform a test for homogeneity of variances. Explain fully.

A college wants to estimate what students typically spend on textbooks. A report fromthe college bookstore observes that textbooks range in price from $22 to $186. Toobtain a 95% confidence level for a confidence interval estimate to plus or minus $10,how many students should the college survey? (We may estimate the populationstandard deviation as (range) ÷ 4.)

In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.
