Suppose you are interested in whether or not fluency with the English language is affected by the teaching method. You are working with a school system that has a large population of children for whom English is their second language. This school system is open to trying new teaching methods, so you set up a study where Classr
Time to help a stranger was investigated by a group of undergraduate psychology majors as a part of their Introduction to Research Methods course. The students thought that gender of the person asking for help would be a factor, as would the dress of the person asking for help. So to investigate this, the students staged a car
Student volunteers in a weight loss project were randomly assigned to one of three diets. After 2 months on the diets, subjects were weighed and weight loss was recorded for each person. a. Conduct a test to determine if there was a significant effect of the diets. Include both analysis and graph. b. Create the appropria
The manager of a computer software company wishes to study the number of hours top executives spend a their computer terminals by type of industry.

1. Group the districts based on the percent of students on welfare: "low" (less than 5 percent), "moderate" (5 up to 10 percent), and "high" (10 percent or more). Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine whether the three categories are equally represented in the sample. Use the .05 significance level. 2. Identify each distr
Articles manufactured by a company are produced by 3 operators using 3 different machines. The manufacturer wishes to determine whether there is a difference (a) between operators (b) between machines. An experiment is performed to determine the number of articles per day produced by each operator using each machine : the r
#4.1 Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine if there is a difference between the means of different populations. For example, I had a student in Prescott who raised hens. A company was trying to sell her the feed they produced by claiming that if her hens ate their feed the hens would produce more eggs. They offered
#4.2 The personnel manager of a large finance company wished to evaluate the effectiveness of 4 different sales-training programs designed for new employees. A group of 32 recently hired employees are randomly assigned to the 4 training programs so that there are 8 subjects in each program. At the end of the program an exam i
The table below gives the number of miles to the gallon obtained by similar automobiles using 5 different brands of gasoline. Test at the (a) 0.05 level (b) 0.01 level of significance whether there is any significant difference in brands. Brand Miles Brand A 12 15 14 11 15 Brand B 14 12 15
ANOVA One-Way Classification Or One-Factor Experiment for equal number of Observations A company wishes to test 4 different types of tires, A, B, C, D. The lifetimes of the tires, as determined from their treads, are given ( in thousands of miles ) in table below, where each type has been tried on 6 similar automobiles as
An experiment is performed to determine the yields of 5 different varieties of wheat, A, B, C, D, E. Four plots of land are assigned to each variety, and the yields (in bushels per acre) are as shown in table. Assuming the plots to be of similar fertility and that varieties are assigned at random to plots, determine if there is
Fathers recorded how many minutes per day they played with their child for 5 days. This data file contains 60 cases and three variables; a factor indicating the disability status of the child, a factor indicating the child?s gender, and a play time score averaged across 5 days. 5. Conduct a two-way ANOVA to evaluate differen

A DRUG IS DEVELOPED TO LOWER PULSE RATES. In order to obtain more consistent results that do not have confounding variables of gender, the drug is tested using males only. Given below are pulse rates for a placebo group, a group of men treated with Xynamine in 10 mg doses and a group of men treated with 20mg doses. Research find
Perform an analysis-of-variance test to see if the following sets of numbers were selected from distributions with the same mean: a. 18, 9, 15, 10, 16, 8, 7, 20, 13, 8, 12 b. 17, 13, 9, 8, 10, 13, 16, 17, 12, 11, 17 c. 15, 13, 13, 14, 15, 20, 15, 14, 9, 16, 12 d. 16, 12, 13, 12, 14, 11, 8, 13, 17, 15, 14
Question 1 Discuss an example where you would use a test of hypothesis with three or more population means (that can be analyzed using ANOVA technique) at your employment or personal life. Question 2 Many real estate companies and rental agencies now publish their listings on the Web. One example is the Dunes Realty Compan

1. We wish to analyze the results from a study which involved the following steps: A random sample of 500 participants was recruited for the study ? Subjects were allowed to elect to participate in an 3-month exercise program or serve as a control subject (190 chose the program, 310 chose to serve as controls) ? Subjects wer
The following data are from three investigators (Adam Site; Ima Dumme, and Izzy Mor-Ose) who ran identical learning experiments in their own labs (after carefully training to gather data identically) to determine if their results differed by geographic area (Adam is from the Northeast, Ima from the Southwest, and Izzy from the M
