Evaluation of flexography printing plates. Refer to the Journal of Graphic Engineering and Design (Vol. 3, 2012) study of the quality of flexography printing, Exercise 9.24 (p. 520). Recall that four different exposure times were studied—8,10, 12, and 14 minutes—and that the measure of print quality used was dot area (hundreds of dots per square millimeter). Tukey’s multiple comparisons procedure (at an experimentwise error rate of .05) was used to rank the

Question 2
Y Part 1 of 4
A doctor in Cleveland wants to know whether the average life span for heart disease patients at four
hospitals in the city differ. The data below represents the life span, in years, of heart disease
patients from each hospital. Perform an ANOVA test with a 9% level of significance to test whether
the average life span of heart disease patients in Cleveland differs depending on the hospital that
treats them
Life Span of Patients Treated at Hospital 1:
7.4, 7.8, 7.7, 7.5, 8, 8.2, 7.8, 8.6, 8, 7.8, 8.3, 8.3, 8, 7.6, 8.2, 7.9, 7.3, 8, 8.6, 7.3, 8.3, 8, 7.8, 8, 7.8, 8.1,

Do the data support that the zinc concentration is less on the surface than the bottom of
the water source, at the a = 0.1 level of significance? Note: A normal probability plot
of difference in zinc concentration between the bottom and surface of water indicates
the population could be normal and a boxplot indicated no outliers.

Ha = H1 – 12, where li is the population mean zinc concentration in the bottom
of water and 42 is the mean zinc concentration in the surface of water.

The ankle brachial index (ABI) compares the blood pressure of a patient’s arm to the blood pressure of the patient’s leg.
