The MAKSI FEB UI program is considering buying a copier machine among 5 (five) types, namely the FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4 and FC5 types, where each type has different efficiency in terms of the speed of the number of pages (sheets) copied in one minute. Six staff members conducted an experiment to run each type of copier. The following data shows the number of copied pages (sheets) that can be produced in one minute according to the type of copier, 1 trial, and according to the staff assigned to run each type of copier:
FC1 FC2 FC3 FC4 FC5 Staff 1 60 50 63 60 64 Staff 2 56 55 65 58 60 Staff 3 54 56 65 56 58 Staff 4 56 57 67 65 60 Staff 5 54 56 65 60 60 Staff 6 55 52 58 60 55
Some of the results of the calculation of the sum of squares (sum-square) and the average squared (mean square) required for the ANOVA test are provided in the following table:

Is there a difference in the average efficiency of the 6 (six) staff? d. What does the answer to the questions in points (b) and (c) mean if it is related to the variation in data that occurs in the number of pages (sheets) of copied results per minute?

Now you randomly create 10 zones within each forest (300 total) and measure plant biomass in each for three years (900 being the final tally) determine the population of interest, the dependent variable, the independent variable, and if the independent variable is being observed or controlled/manipulated, and number of replicates pseudoreplicates.arrow_forwardA commonly cited standard for one-way length (duration) of school bus rides for elementary school children is 30 minutes. A local government office in a rural area conducts a study to determine if elementary schoolers in their district have a longer average one-way commute time. If they determine that the average commute time of students in their district is significantly higher than the commonly cited standard they will invest in increasing the number of school busses to help shorten commute time. What would a Type 2 error mean in this context? O The local government decides that the average commute time is 30 minutes. O The local government decides that the data provide convincing evidence of an average commute time higher than 30 minutes, when the true average commute time is in fact 30 minutes. O The local government decides that the data do not provide convincing evidence of an average commute time higher than 30 minutes, when the true average commute time is in fact higher than…arrow_forward
- Since muscle tension in the head region has been associated with tension headaches, a researcher reasoned that if the muscle tension could be changed, perhaps the headaches would also be changed. The researcher designed an experiment in which nine subjects with tension headaches participated. The subjects kept daily logs of the number of headaches they experienced during a 2-week baseline period. Then the researcher trained them to change their muscle tension in the head region, using a biofeedback device. For this experiment, the biofeedback device was connected to a muscle in the forehead region. The device indicated the subject's amount of tension in the muscle to which it was attached and helped them achieve low tension levels. After 6 weeks of training, during which the subjects became successful at maintaining low muscle tension, they again kept a 2-week log of the number of headaches experienced. The following are the number of headaches recorded during each 2-week period.…arrow_forwardPeople gain weight when they take in more energy from food than they expend. Researchers wanted to investigate the link between obesity and energy spent on daily activity. Choose 20 healthy volunteers who don't exercise. Deliberately choose 10 who are lean and 10 who are mildly obese but still healthy. Attach sensors that monitor the subjects' every move for 10 days. The table below presents data on the time (in minutes per day) that the subjects spent standing or walking, sitting, and lying down. Is there a significant difference between the mean times the two groups spend lying down? Let ?1 be the mean time spent lying down by the lean group, and ?2 be the mean time for the obese group.

Mangoes are generally harvested at the mature green stage and ripen up during the marketing process of transport, storage, and so on. During this process, about 30% of the fruit is wasted. Because of this, the impact of harvest stage and storage conditions on the postharvest quality are of interest. In this experiment, the fruit was harvested at 80, 95, or 110 days after the fruit setting (the transition from flower to fruit) and then stored at temperatures of 20∘C, 30∘C, or 40∘C. For each harvest time and storage temperature, a random sample of mangoes was selected, and the time to ripening was measured. What are the factors, the treatments, and the response variables? Take each item from the answer bank and place into the appropriate category.arrow_forward
- In his doctoral thesis, L. A. Beckel (University of Minnesota, 1982) studied the social behavior of river otters during the mating season. An important role in the bonding process of river otters is very short periods of social grooming. After extensive observations, Dr. Beckel found that one group of river otters under study had a frequency of initiating grooming of approximately 1.7 for each 10 minutes. Suppose that you are observing river otters for 30 minutes. Let r = 0, 1, 2, ... be a random variable that represents the number of times (in a 30-minute interval) one otter initiates social grooming of another. a) Find the probabilities that in your 30 minutes of observation, one otter will initiate social grooming four times, five times, and six times. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(4) = P(5) = P(6) = b) Find the probability that one otter will initiate social grooming less than four times during the 30-minute observation period.
