Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 1TP

Chocolate Chips Revisited The Chapter Problem for Chapter 3 includes counts of chocolate chips in cookies from five different brands. The counts were obtained by the author. Use the counts listed in Table 3-1 with technology to conduct a test of the null hypothesis that the brands of Chips Ahoy (regular), Chips Ahoy (chewy). Chips Ahoy (reduced fat), Keebler, and Hannaford have the same mean number of chocolate chips. Obtain a printout of the results from technology. (If using a TI-83/84 Plus calculator, write the exact results displayed on the screen.) Write a brief report that includes comments about a check of the requirements and a statement of the final conclusion. After completing the analysis of variance test, explore the data and comment on any notable differences among the numbers of chocolate chips in the five brands.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
