1. Define what is a factor and a level in an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Give me an example of a factor with its levels.

35. Statistics students in Oxnard College sampled 10 textbooks in the Condor bookstore and recorded the number of pages in each textbook and its cost. The bivariate data are shown below: Number of Pages (xx) Cost(yy) 757 134.55 538 106.7 782 142.3 461 83.15 597 116.55 372 74.8 328 75.2 480 92 978 154.7 261 58.15 A student calculates a linear modely =           x +          . (Please show your answers to two decimal places)Use the model to estimate the cost when number of pages is 849.Cost =$                 (Please show your answer to 2 decimal places.)

A factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of…

Please use ANOVA

A sales analyst wants to determine whether there is a difference in the mean monthly sales of a company's four sales regions. Several salespersons from each region are randomly selected and they provide their sales amount (in thousands of dollars) for the previous month. Using a 1% significance, can we conclude at least one region is different on average? North East South West 27 28 16 26 38 23 22 29 19 | 17 16 26 29 25 25 34 26 23 What is the factor variable? Region What is the response variable? Sales Amount Test statistic: P-value:

The total expenses of a hospital (dependent variable) are related to many factors. One of these factors is the number of admissions to the hospital (independent variable).
