Seven different hardwood concentrations are being studied to determine their effect on the strength of the
paper produced. However, the pilot plant can only produce three runs each day. As days may differ, the
analyst uses the balanced incomplete block design that follows. Analyze the data from this experiment (use
a = 0.05) and draw conclusions.

Thirty minutes later, a police officer measured their blood alcohol content (BAC) in grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. Throughout the United States, the legal BAC limit is 0.08. 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_forwardA survey was conducted to determine the impact of contamination on property values.
