Chapter 13.5, Problem 32E
As part of a study designed to compare hybrid and similarly equipped conventional vehicles. Consumer Reports tested a variety of classes of hybrid and all-gas model cars and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). The following data show the miles-per-gallon rating Consumer Reports obtained for two hybrid small cars, two hybrid midsize cars, two hybrid small SUVs, and two hybrid midsize SUVs: also shown are the miles per gallon obtained for eight similarly equipped conventional models.
At the α = .05 level of significance, test for significant effects due to class, type, and interaction.

To help consumers in purchasing a laptop computer, Consumer Reports calculates an overall test score for each computer tested based upon rating factors such as ergonomics, portability, performance, display, and battery life. Higher overall scores indicate better test results. The following data show the average retail price and the overall score for ten 13- inch models (Consumer Reports website, October 25, 2012).

The students were equally divided between men and women and differed in weight and usual drinking habits. Because of this variation, many students do not believe that the number of ingested drinks predicts BAC well.The data in the given figure consists of: a.2 unpaired sets of values, each of which has 16 values b.32 ordered pairs of values c.16 ordered pairs of valuesarrow_forward
- When exposed to an infection, a person typically develops antibodies. The extent to which theantibodies respond can be measured by looking at a persons titer, which is a measure of the number of antibodies present. The higher the titer is, the more antibodies that are present. The data in Table represent the titers of 11 ill people and 11 healthy people exposed to the tularemia virus in Vermont. Is the level of titer in the ill group greater than the level of titer in the healthy group?
