Chapter 13, Problem 40SE
Fuel Efficiency of Gasoline Brands. A research firm tests the miles-per-gallon characteristics of three brands of gasoline. Because of different gasoline performance characteristics in different brands of automobiles, five brands of automobiles are selected and treated as blocks in the experiment: that is, each brand of automobile is tested with each type of gasoline. The results of the experiment (in miles per gallon) follow.
- a. At α = .05, is there a significant difference in the mean miles-per-gallon characteristics of the three brands of gasoline?
- b. Analyze the experimental data using the ANOVA procedure for completely randomized designs. Compare your findings with those obtained in part (a). What is the advantage of attempting to remove the block effect?

7. In a 2011 article, M. Radelet and G. Pierce reported a logistic prediction equation
for the death penalty verdicts in North Carolina. Let Y denote whether a subject
convicted of murder received the death penalty (1=yes), for the defendant's race
h (h1, black; h = 2, white), victim's race i (i = 1, black; i = 2, white), and
number of additional factors j (j = 0, 1, 2). For the model
logit[P(Y = 1)] = a + ß₁₂ + By + B²²,

- Question 1:We want to evaluate the impact on the monetary economy for a company of two types of strategy (competitive strategy, cooperative strategy) adopted by buyers.Competitive strategy: strategy characterized by firm behavior aimed at obtaining concessions from the buyer.Cooperative strategy: a strategy based on a problem-solving negotiating attitude, with a high level of trust and cooperation.A random sample of 17 buyers took part in a negotiation experiment in which 9 buyers adopted the competitive strategy, and the other 8 the cooperative strategy. The savings obtained for each group of buyers are presented in the pdf that i sent: For this problem, we assume that the samples are random and come from two normal populations of unknown but equal variances.According to the theory, the average saving of buyers adopting a competitive strategy will be lower than that of buyers adopting a cooperative strategy.a) Specify the population identifications and the hypotheses H0 and H1…arrow_forwardYou assume that the annual incomes for certain workers are normal with a mean of $28,500 and a standard deviation of $2,400.
