Improving driving performance while fatigued. Refer to the Human Factors (May, 2014) study of driving performance while fatigued, Exercise 9.31 (p. 521). Recall that the researchers had 40 college students drive a long distance in a simulator. While driving, each student performed a task. One group of student-drivers performed a verbal task continuously (continuous verbal condition); another group performed the task only at the end of the drive (late verbal condition); a third group did not perform the task at all (no verbal condition); and, the fourth group listened to a program on the car radio (radio show condition). The dependent variable of interest was the percentage of billboards recalled by the student-driver. The data are listed in the table on the next page.
- a. Write a model for
mean recall percentage, E(y), as afunction of task group (continuous verbal, late verbal, no verbal, and radio show). Use radio show as the base level for the qualitative independent variable, task group. - b. Measures of
central tendency for the recall percentage measurements of each task group are displayed in the accompanying Minitab printout. Use this information to estimate the β parameters of the model, part a.
- c. Fit the model, part a, to the data in the file. Use the output to verify your 13 estimates in part b.
- d. d. Refer to the output, part c. Conduct a test (at α= .01) to determine if the mean recall percentage differs for student- drivers in the four groups. Your answer should agree with that of Exercise 9.31.

- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardUrban Travel Times Population of cities and driving times are related, as shown in the accompanying table, which shows the 1960 population N, in thousands, for several cities, together with the average time T, in minutes, sent by residents driving to work. City Population N Driving time T Los Angeles 6489 16.8 Pittsburgh 1804 12.6 Washington 1808 14.3 Hutchinson 38 6.1 Nashville 347 10.8 Tallahassee 48 7.3 An analysis of these data, along with data from 17 other cities in the United States and Canada, led to a power model of average driving time as a function of population. a Construct a power model of driving time in minutes as a function of population measured in thousands b Is average driving time in Pittsburgh more or less than would be expected from its population? c If you wish to move to a smaller city to reduce your average driving time to work by 25, how much smaller should the city be?arrow_forwardWhat is an experiment?
