a Based on your answers to Exercises 13.20 and 13.21 and the comments at the end of this section, how would you expect confidence intervals computed using the results of this section to compare with related intervals that make use of the data from only one or two of the samples obtained in a one-way layout? Why?
b Refer to part (a). Is it possible that a 95% confidence interval for the
13.20 Refer to Examples 13.2 and 13.3.
a Use the portion of the data in Table 13.2 that deals only with teaching technique 1 and the method of Section 8.8 to form a 95% confidence interval for the mean score of students taught using technique 1.
b How does the length of the 95% confidence interval that you found in part (a) compare to the length of the 95% confidence interval obtained in Example 13.3?
c What is the major reason that the interval that you found in part (a) is longer than the interval given in Example 13.3?
13.21 Refer to Examples 13.2 and 13.4.
a Use the portion of the data in Table 13.2 that deals only with teaching techniques 1 and 4 and the method of Section 8.8 to form a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean score for students taught using techniques 1 and 4.
b How does the length of the 95% confidence interval that you found in part (a) compare to the length of the 95% confidence interval obtained in Example 13.4?
c What is the major reason that the interval that you found in part (a) is longer than the interval given in Example 13.4?

The agency measures the average number of daily clicks on ads for three platforms: Social Media, Search Engines, and Email Campaigns. The agency collects data on daily clicks for each platform over a 10-day period and wants to test whether there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of daily clicks among these platforms.
