Chapter 9.2, Problem 8BSC
In Exercises 5–20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from
8. Color and Cognition Researchers from the University of British Columbia conducted a study to investigate the effects of color on cognitive tasks. Words were displayed on a computer screen with background colors of red and blue. Results from scores on a test of word recall are given below. Higher scores correspond to greater word recall.
a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the samples are from populations with the same mean.
b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a). What is it about the confidence interval that causes us to reach the same conclusion from part (a)?
c. Does the background color appear to have an effect on word recall scores? If so, which color appears to be associated with higher word memory recall scores?

The article cited in Exercise 4 also investigated the effects of the factors on glucose
consumption (in g/L). A single measurement is provided for each combination of factors (in
the article, there was some replication). The results are presented in the following table.

Compute estimates of the main effects and the interactions.
a.
Is it possible to compute an error sum of squares? Explain.
Are any of the interactions among the larger effects? If so, which ones?
d. Assume that it is known from past experience that the additive model holds. Add the
sums of squares for the interactions, and use that result in place of an error sum of
squares to test the hypotheses that the main effects are equal to 0.
Ъ.
C.
Refer to the data presented in Exercise 2.86. Note that there
were 50% more accidents in the 25 to less than 30 age group
than in the 20 to less than 25 age group. Does this suggest
that the older group of drivers in this city is more accident-
prone than the younger group? What other explanation might
account for the difference in accident rates?
The table below summarizes a data set that examines the responses of a random sample of college graduates and non-graduates on the topic of oil drilling. Complete a chi-square test for these data to check whether there is a statistically significant difference in responses from college graduates and non-graduates. That is,
H0:H0: The opinion of college grads and nongrads is not different on the topic of drilling for oil and natural gas off the coast of California.HA:HA: Opinions regarding the drilling for oil and natural gas off the coast of California has an association with earning a college degree. Compute the expected counts. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
