Chapter 8, Problem 1RSRD
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is a department of the U.S. federal government with the motto “Improving the health, safety, and well-being of America.” The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services work within the HHS to help administer Medicare, Medicaid, and other health programs. They also gather information about health expenditure, program utilization, and other data. One area studied is the average amount of time that Medicare patients spend at short-stay hospitals.
You work for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. You want to test the claim that the mean length of stay for inpatients in 2015 is different than what it was in 2000 from a random sample of inpatient records. The results for several inpatients from 2000 and 2015 are shown in the histograms.
EXERCISES

- A retail chain is interested in determining whether a digital video point-of-purchase (POP) display would stimulate higher sales for a brand advertised compared to the standard cardboard point-of-purchase display. To test this, a one-shot static group design experiment was conducted over a four-week period in 100 different stores. Fifty stores were randomly assigned to the control treatment (standard display) and the other 50 stores were randomly assigned to the experimental treatment (digital display). Compare the sales of the control group (standard POP) to the experimental group (digital POP). What were the average sales for the standard POP display (control group)?

- Question 4 An article in Quality Progress (May 2011, pp. 42-48) describes the use of factorial experiments to improve a silver powder production process. This product is used in conductive pastes to manufacture a wide variety of products ranging from silicon wafers to elastic membrane switches. Powder density (g/cm²) and surface area (cm/g) are the two critical characteristics of this product. The experiments involved three factors: reaction temperature, ammonium percentage, stirring rate. Each of these factors had two levels, and the design was replicated twice. The design is shown in Table 3.

Cracking is a potentially serious problem in the final part because it can lead to nonrecoverable failure. A test is run at the parts producer to determine the effect of four factors on cracks. The four factors are: pouring temperature (A), titanium content (B), heat treatment method (C), amount of grain refiner used (D). Two replicates of a 24 design are run, and the length of crack (in mm x10-2) induced in a sample coupon subjected to a standard test is measured. The data are shown in Table 2. 1 (a) Estimate the factor effects. Which factor effects appear to be large? (b) Conduct an analysis of variance. Do any of the factors affect cracking? Use a = 0.05.
