Textbook Question
Chapter 1.2, Problem 2E
In designing an experiment, the researcher can often choose many different levels of the various factors in order to try to find the best combination at which to operate. As an illustration, suppose the researcher is studying a certain chemical reaction and can choose four levels of temperature, live different pressures, and two different catalysts.
(a) To consider all possible combinations, how many experiments would need to be conducted?
(b) Often in preliminary experimentation, each factor is restricted to two levels. With the three factors noted, how many experiments would need to be run to cover all possible combinations with each of the three factors at two levels? (Nom: This is often called a 2 design.)

choose one of the following procedures for each of the research scenarios described.
In a rural school 202 students from a total school population of 723 suffer from malnutrition while in an urban school, 167 students from a total of 1 001 suffer from malnutrition. A master’s degree student wants to determine whether suffering from malnutrition is dependent on the region (urban versus rural) in which the school is situated.
You want to determine the effect of soap on bacterial colonies. In order to make sure that the environment does not affect your experiment, you divide 13 different petri dishes in half - one side is exposed to soap, the other is a control. You may use R but please show all the steps and codes involved.
You measure the number of colonies that grow in each petri dish and come up with the following results:
petri dish: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13soap: 10 5 7 10 19 11 13 17 19 8 11 10 16control: 20 17 11 17 26 18 21 25 24 17 17 17 21
Perform a complete hypothesis test to see if there is a difference in bacterial colonies between the soap and control dishes.

Because plants use CO2 to fuel photosynthesis, more CO2 may cause trees and other plants to grow faster. An elaborate apparatus allows researchers to pipe extra CO2 to a 30-meter circle of forest. They selected two nearby circles in each of three parts of a pine forest and randomly chose one of each pair to receive extra CO2. The response variable is the mean increase in base area for 30 to 40 trees in a circle during a growing season. We measure this in percent increase per year. Here are one year's data.

- Here is one way in which nature regulates the size of animal populations: high population dehslty attracts predators, which remove a higher proportion of the population than when the density of the prey is low. One study looked at kelp perch and their common predator, the kelp bass. On each of four occasions, the researcher set up four large circular pens on sandy ocean bottoms off the coast of southern California. He randomly assigned young perch to 1 of 4 pens so that one pen had 10 perch, one pen had 20 perch, one pen had 40 perch and the final pen had 60 perch. then he dropped the nets protecting the pens, allowing bass to swarm in, and counted the number of perch killed after two hours. A regression analysis was performed on the 16 data points using x = number of perch in pen and y = proportion of perch killed. Here is a residual plot and a histogram of the residuals. 0,4 - 0.3 0.2 0.1- 0.0 -0.1 - -0.2- -0.3 - -0.4 10 20 30 40 50 60 Number of perch Starnes & Tabor, The Practice of…arrow_forwardSubset 8- The next questions are based on the following information: Suppose two food preservatives are extensively tested and determined safe for use in meats.

To test the claim that 24% of M&Ms in a bag are blue, Professor Duong bought 30 packs of fun- size M&Ms from four different stores and recorded the data below.

- Use the five-steps rule in solving problems that involves the test of hypothesis.arrow_forwardYvon Hopps ran an experiment to determine the optimum power and time settings for microwave popcorn. His goal was to find a combination of power and time that would deliver high-quality popcorn with less than 9% of the kernels left un-popped, on average. After experimenting with several bags, he determined that power 9 at 4 minutes was the best combination. To be sure that the method was successful, he popped 8 more bags of popcorn (selected at random) at this setting. All were of high quality, with the following percentages of uncooked popcorn: 8.4, 11.4, 8.7, 8.3, 4.6, 2.4, 3.2, 5.6. Does the 95% confidence interval suggest that he met his goal of an average of no more than 9% uncooked kernels? Explain. The 95% confidence interval for the true mean percentage of unpopped kernels is (%,%). (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)

A manufacturer of electric irons produces these items in two plants. Both plants have the same suppliers of small parts. A saving can be made by purchasing thermostats for plant B from a local supplier. A single lot was purchased from the local supplier, and a test was conducted to see whether these new thermostats were as accurate as the old. The thermostats were tested on tile irons on the 550 °F setting, and the actual temperatures were read to the nearest 0.1 °F with a thermocouple. The data are as follows: New Supplier (°F) 530.3 559.3 549.4 544.0 551.7 549.9 556.9 536.7 558.8 538.8 559.1 555.0 538.6 551.1 565.4 550.0 554.9 554.7 536.1 569.1 Old Supplier (°F) 559.7 534.7 554.8 545.0 544.6 550.7 563.1 551.1 553.8 538.8 554.5 555.0 566.3 543.3 554.9 538.0 564.6 553.0 538.4 548.3 552.9 535.1 544.8 558.4 548.7 560.3 a.
