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.
