An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of species (factor A, with I = 4) and grade (factor B, with J = 3) on breaking strength of wood specimens. One observation was made for each species—grade combination—resulting in SSA = 449.0, SSB = 422.6, and SSE = 129.4. Assume that an additive model is appropriate.

(a) Test H0: α1 = α2 = α3 = α4 = 0 (no differences in true average strength due to species) versus Ha: at least one αi ≠ 0

using a level 0.05 test.

Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

f =

What can be said about the P-value for the test?

P-value > 0.100

0.050 < P-value < 0.100

0.010 < P-value < 0.050

0.001 < P-value < 0.010

P-value < 0.001

State the conclusion in the problem context.

Reject H0. The data suggests that true average strength of at least one of the species is different from the others.

Reject H0. The data does not suggest any difference in the true average strength due to species.    

Fail to reject H0. The data does not suggest any difference in the true average strength due to species.

Fail to reject H0. The data suggests that true average strength of at least one of the species is different from the others.

(b) Test H0: β1 = β2 = β3 = 0 (no differences in true average strength due to grade) versus

Ha: at least one βj ≠ 0 using a level 0.05 test.

Calculate the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Reject H0. The data does not suggest any difference in the true average strength due to grade.

Reject H0. The data suggests that true average strength of at least one of the grades is different from the others.

Tensile strength tests were carried out on two different grades of wire rod, resulting in the accompanying data. Grade Sample Size Sample Mean (kg/mm^2) sample SD AISI 1064 m=126 x bar = 102.1   s1 = 1.2 AISI 1078   n = 126 y bar = 128.5 s2 = 2.0 (a) Does the data provide compelling evidence for concluding that true average strength for the 1078 grade exceeds that for the 1064 grade by more than 10 kg/mm2?

The following data refers to yield of tomatoes (kg/plot) for four different levels of salinity. Salinity level here refers to electrical conductivity (EC), where the chosen levels were EC = 1.6, 3.8, 6.0, and 10.2 nmhos/cm.

As the population ages, there is increasing concern about accident-related injuries to the elderly. An article reported on an experiment in which the maximum lean angle—the furthest a subject is able to lean and still recover in one step—was determined for both a sample of younger females (21–29 years) and a sample of older females (67–81 years). The following observations are consistent with summary data given in the article: YF: 28, 35, 31, 27, 28, 32, 31, 35, 32, 25...

A comparison between species: Biologists comparing the gestation period of two newly discovered species of frog collected data from 13 frogs of species A and 22 frogs of species B. Species A exhibited an average gestation period of 13 days with a standard deviation of 3.4 days while species B had a gestation period of 17 days and a standard deviation of 2.6 days. The researchers want to know whether the average lengths of the gestational periods differ between the...
