Textbook Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 7LO
Describe three specific applications of the factorial design: (1) adding a factor to an existing study; (2) using a participant variable as a second factor to control the variance in a between-subjects design; and (3) using the order of treatments as a second factor to evaluate the order effects in a within-subjects design; explain the advantage of using a factorial design in these situations.

Attractiveness of body types has been a large discussion relating to effects on youth and culture. Unhealthy levels of BMI are often associated with beauty. A researcher decided to study how young heterosexual adults body type preferences related to BMI. Participants were asked to use a computer program to design their desired partner. The program then calculated the BMI of the designed partners. The table summarizes the results based on a SRS of 35 men and 48 women.
BMI designed by men
n=35
x-bar=18.850
stdev=1.750
SE Mean 0.277
BMI designed by women
n=48
x-bar=25.860
stdev=4.215
SE Mean 0.625
Use this information to conduct a test to decide if male and/or female body type preferences are associated with healthy BMI measurements. You should have two complete tests here. You may assume the populations are normally distributed.
What does an A X B interaction mean in a two - way ANOVA?
A. The affect of factor A depends on the level of factor B
B. The main effects for Factors A and B must be short of significance
C. There must be significant main effects for Factors A and B
D. If there are significant main effects, they must be interpreted first before interpreting the interaction
Provide an example of a between-subjects study.

- What is a confounding variable in research, and how can it affect the results of a study? Provide an example of a confounding variable in a hypothetical study.arrow_forwardA researcher would like to conduct a study related to student emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. The researcher would like to examine two objectives in his study. First, he would like to examine whether the EQ training and coaching programme will improve the level of EQ for university students. Second, he would like to study the relationship between student academic performance (CGPA) and students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. Twenty samples of students from the first year were taken for the study. The researcher has collected the data for a few variables: gender, academic performance, and emotional intelligence (EQ) test score. The study is divided into two parts. First, the student must answer the emotional intelligence (EQ) test assessment before attending the EQ training and coaching programme. Second, the researcher will request the same twenty students to attend a one-month emotional intelligence (EQ) coaching and training programme.

The Operations Manager of the bank wonders if the customers at one branch are more variable than the number of customers at another branch. A research study of customers is carried out by him. The variance of Delhi Head Office customers is 31 and that for Mumbai branch is 20. The sample size for Delhi Head Office is 11 and that for Mumbai branch is 21. Use a 5 % level of significance to test the difference in variance for both the branches.arrow_forward
- A coffee company uses a data-based approach to improving the quality and customer satisfaction of its products. When survey data indicated that the coffee company needed to improve its package-sealing process, an experiment was conducted to determine the factors in the bag-sealing equipment that might be affecting the ease of opening the bag without tearing the inner liner of the bag. One factor that could affect the rating of the ability of the bag to resist tears was the plate gap on the bag-sealing equipment. Data were collected on 19 bags in which the plate gap was varied. Assuming a linear relationship, use the least-squares method to find the regression coefficients b0 and b1. b0 = b1 =arrow_forwardA coffee company uses a data-based approach to improving the quality and customer satisfaction of its products.
