Exam 15: Design of Experiments and Analysis of Variance Anova

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: A health food company wants to determine the best process for blanching dark green vegetable material so it can be added to other food products without losing vitamin A. They are examining three different blanching processes to determine which is best in terms of vitamin A retention (mg/100mg). The data collected and partial ANOVA results appear below. -The P-value for this statistic turns out to be < 0.001. Therefore, at α = 0.05

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: A national car rental company recently conducted a study in which cars with automatic and standard transmissions were rented to male and female customers. Three customers in each category were randomly selected and the miles driven per day was recorded as follows: -Given the following output, which of the following statements is true at α = 0.05?

A health food company wants to determine the best process for blanching dark green vegetable material so it can be added to other food products without losing vitamin A. They are examining three different blanching processes to determine which is best in terms of vitamin A retention (mg/100mg). The data collected and partial ANOVA results appear below. a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses (in words, not symbols)? b. Are the conditions / assumptions for ANOVA met? c. Calculate the F-statistic. d. The P-value for this statistic turns out to be < .001. State the conclusion. e. Suppose the company is concerned about whether different batches of green vegetable material would blanch differently. Suggest how the design for the study could have been improved to take this into account.

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: Management styles differ among organizations and may potentially affect employee job satisfaction. A sample of employees was randomly selected from each of three companies with different management styles (Authoritarian, Laissez faire and Participative) and asked to rate their level of job satisfaction on a 10-point scale (10 being the highest level of satisfaction).

A survey of online consumers asked respondents to indicate how much money they spent for online purchases during the most recent Christmas holiday season. These data were analyzed to see if gender and income level (1 = Low, 2 = Middle, 3 = High) influence the amount consumers spend online for holiday shopping. The two way ANOVA results appear below. a. Is this an experiment or observational study? b. Are the conditions for two-way ANOVA met? c. If so, perform the hypothesis tests and state your conclusions in terms of amount spent online, gender and income level. d. Is it appropriate to interpret the main effects in this case? Explain.

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: A national car rental company recently conducted a study in which cars with automatic and standard transmissions were rented to male and female customers. Three customers in each category were randomly selected and the miles driven per day was recorded as follows: -Which of the following is not a principle of experimental design?

Consider the following to answer the question(s) below: An Internet service provider is interested in testing to see if there is a difference in the mean weekly connect time for users who come into the service through a dial-up line, DSL, or cable Internet. To test this, the ISP has selected random samples from each category of user and recorded the connect time during a week period. The following is partial Excel output for the data. -The P-value for this statistic is < 0.001. Therefore, at α = 0.05

Consider the following to answer the question(s): An advocacy group is interested in determining if gender (1 = Female, 2 = Male) affects executive level salaries.
