- A consumer group wanted to determine if there was a difference in customer perceptions about prices for a specific type of toy depending on where the toy was purchased. In the local area there are three main retailers: W-Mart, Tag, and URToy. For each retailer, the consumer group randomly selected 5 customers, and asked them to rate how expensive they thought the toy was on a 1-to-10 scale (1= not expensive, to 10 = very expensive). The toy was priced the same at all retail stores. Compute the percentage of variance explained by the group differences for these data.

A fictitious brand of a healthy food product-sliced apples-was packaged to appeal to children. The researchers showed the packaging to a sample of 348 school children and asked each whether he or she was willing to eat the product. Willingness to eat was measured on a 5-point scale, with 1 = "not willing at all" and 5 = "very willing." The data are summarized as x = 3.56 and s=2.19. Suppose the researchers knew that the mean willingness to eat an actual brand of sliced apples (which is not packaged for children) is µ = 3. Complete parts a and b below. a. Conduct a test to determine whether the true mean willingness to eat the brand of sliced apples packaged for children exceeded 3. Use α = 0.10 to make your conclusion. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: H₂:arrow_forwardA polisher wishes to estimate the proportion of United States voters who favor capital punishment.
