Three brands of AAA batteries are compared to see which last longest. Each brand of
battery is tested in four different devices (a TV remote control, a hand-held game, a
miniature flashlight, and a digital camera). The experiment is run once for each
combination of brand and device. The twelve runs are ordered randomly. The time that the
each battery lasts (in minutes) under continuous usage is recorded. Device Brand A Brand B Brand C Remote 1320 1220 1250 Game 480 460 450 Light 245 225 240 Camera 81 72 77
The two-way ANOVA table for response variable Time and factors Brand and Device is
given below.
a. Write the model equation for this ANOVA. (Use symbols or words, no numbers.)
b. Test to see whether there is a brand effect. Write the hypotheses being tested, and state
your conclusion using a 5% level of significance. Write your conclusion in the context of
this problem.
c. Explain the role that the device factor plays in this analysis.
d. Can an interaction term be added to this model? Explain.
e. Use the plots below to check the ANOVA conditions.

We can tell that these two features are independent because…
A) The probability of having a kickstand given that you have a water bottle (56.7%) is about
equal to the probability of having a kickstand (55%).
B) These two features don't have anything to do with each other, so we know they're
independent.
C) The probability of having both features (34%) does not equal the probability of having neither
feature (19%).
D) The probability of having both features is not zero; it is 34%.
E) The probability of having either feature (81%) doesn't equal the probability of having just one
feature (60% and 55%).

For a class project, students tested four different brands of laundry detergent (1, 2, 3, 4) in
three different water temperatures (hot, warm, cold) to see whether their were any
differences in how well the detergents could clean clothes. The students took 36 identical
pieces of cloth and made them dirty by staining them with coffee, dirt, and grass. The 36
pieces were randomly assigned to the 12 combinations of detergent and temperature so
that each combination had 3 replicates. After washing, the students rated how clean the
clothes were from 0 (no change) to 20 (completely spotless). The two factor ANOVA table
is shown below along with an interaction plot and residual plots. Source df Sums of Squares Mean Square F-ratio P-value Detergent 3 38.972 12.9907 3.966 0.0171 Temp 2 181.056 90.5278 27.634 <0.0001 Error 30 98.278 3.2759 Total 35 318.306
a. Write the hypotheses tested by the Detergent F-ratio. Test the hypotheses and explain
your conclusion in the context of the problem.
b. Write the hypotheses tested by the Temp F-ratio. Test the hypotheses and explain your
conclusion in the context of the problem.
c. Check the conditions required for the ANOVA analysis.
