Use the following to answer the questions below: Penalties in ice hockey occur when a player breaks one of the rules of the game. In most cases, when a penalty occurs, the offending player is placed in the penalty box (the length of time spent in the penalty box depends on the severity of the penalty), and the team has to play with fewer people on the ice, which can result in an advantage for the opposing team. The number of penalties per game for several randomly selected games are displayed for three college men's ice hockey teams. ‪ -Use the summary information and results from the ANOVA to construct 95% confidence intervals for the differences in each pair of means: (a) Team A and Team B (b) Team A and Team C (c) Team B and Team C In each case, round the margin of error to two decimal places. Based on your work, which teams have significantly different means? Briefly justify your answer.

Use the following to answer the questions below: Breakfast is often considered to be the most important meal of the day. Data on the number of calories per serving for randomly selected cereals from three different brands (General Mills, Kellogg's, and Kashi) are summarized in the provided plot and table. -Are the conditions for using ANOVA reasonably satisfied?

Use the following to answer the questions below: Breakfast is often considered to be the most important meal of the day. Data on the amount of sugar (g) per serving for randomly selected cereals from three different brands (General Mills, Kellogg's, and Kashi) are summarized in the provided plot and table. -Computer output from the analysis gives a p-value of 0.066. Test, at the 5% level, if there is evidence that the average amount of sugar per serving differs significantly among the three brands.

Use the following to answer the questions below: A small university is concerned with monitoring its electricity usage in its Student Center. Specifically, its officials want to know if the amount of electricity used differs by day of the week. They collected data for nearly a year, and the relevant summary statistics are provided. Note that electricity usage is measured in kilowatt hours. ‪ -Use the F-distribution to find the p-value for the test. Using $\alpha$ = 0.05, does the mean electricity usage differ significantly by day of the week? Make a conclusion in context.

Use the following to answer the questions below: Two sets of sample data, A and B, are given. Without doing any calculations, indicate in which set of sample data, A or B, there is likely to be stronger evidence of a difference in the population means. -

Use the following to answer the questions below: An environmental studies student working on an independent research project was investigating metal contamination in the St. Lawrence River. The metals can accumulate in organisms that live in the river (known as bioaccumulation). He collected samples of Quagga mussels at three sites in the St. Lawrence River and measured the concentration of copper (in micrograms per gram, μg/g or mcg/g) in the mussels. His data are summarized in the provided table and plot. He wants to know if there are any significant differences in mean copper concentration among the three sites. -Use the summary information to compute the three sums of squares needed for using ANOVA to test for a difference in mean copper concentration among the three sites. Round each to two decimal places.

Use the following to answer the questions below: Breakfast is often considered to be the most important meal of the day. Data on the amount of sugar (g) per serving for randomly selected cereals from three different brands (General Mills, Kellogg's, and Kashi) are summarized in the provided plot and table. -Should you conduct inference after the ANOVA to investigate differences among the pairs of means in this situation? Briefly explain why or why not.
