3-35. A research firm wants to compare the miles per gallon of unleaded regular, mid-grade, and super premium gasoline. Because of differences in the performance of different automobiles, seven different automobiles were selected and treated as blocks. Therefore, each brand of gasoline was tested with each type of automobile. The results of the trials, in miles per gallon, are shown in the following table. At the .05 significance level, is there a difference in the gasoline and automobiles?

Automobile Regular Mid-grade Super Premium
1 21 23 26
2 23 22 25
3 24 25 27
4 24 24 26

Instruction for last question: In all exercises, include MegaStat, Excel, or MINITAB exhibits to support your calculations.
State the hypotheses, show how the degrees of freedom are calculated, find the critical value of chisquare
from Appendix E or from Excel's function =CHIINV(alpha, deg_freedom), and interpret the p-value.
Tell whether the conclusion is sensitive to the level of significance chosen, identify cells that contribute
the most to the chi-square test statistic, and check for small expected frequencies. If necessary, you can
calculate the p-value by using Excel's function =CHIDIST(test statistic,deg_freedom). Note: Exercises marked
* are harder or require optional material.
