Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with replication
Not what you're looking for?
An experiment is conducted to study the effects of two sales approaches-high-pressure (H) and low-pressure (L)-and to study the effects of two sales pitches (1 and 2) on the weekly sales of a product. The data in Table (1) below are obtained by using a completely randomized design, and Figure (2) gives the Excel output of a two-way ANOVA of the sales experiment data.
a Perform graphical analysis to check for interaction between sales pressure and sales pitch.
b Test for interaction by setting a = .05.
c Test for differences in the effects of the levels of sales pressure by setting a _ .05. That is, test the significance of sales pressure effects with a = .05.
d Calculate and interpret a 95 percent individual confidence interval for
uH - uL
e Test for differences in the effects of the levels of sales pitch by setting a = .05. That is, test the significance of sales pitch effects with a = .05.
f Calculate and interpret a 95 percent individual confidence interval for
u1 - u2.
g Calculate a 95 percent (individual) confidence interval for mean sales when using high sales pressure and sales pitch 1. Interpret this interval.

Solution Summary
In this solution we analyze and interpret a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We show a graphical analysis to check for interaction along with a formal test for interaction. We calculate a confidence interval for the difference in means (main effects) and confidence interval for a cell mean.
