Concept explainers
Instructions: You may use Excel, MegaStat, Minitab, JMP, or another computer package of your choice. Attach appropriate copies of the output or capture the screens, tables, and relevant graphs and include them in a written report. Try to state your conclusions succinctly in language that would be clear to a decision maker who is a nonstatistician. Exercises marked * are based on optional material. Answer the following questions, or those your instructor assigns.
- a. Choose an appropriate ANOVA model. State the hypotheses to be tested.
- b. Display the data visually (e.g., dot plots or line plots by factor). What do the displays show?
- c. Do the ANOVA calculations using the computer.
- d. State the decision rule for α = .05 and make the decision. Interpret the p-value.
- e. In your judgment, are the observed differences in treatment means (if any) large enough to be of practical importance?
- f. Given the nature of the data, would more data collection be practical?
- g. Perform Tukey multiple comparison tests and discuss the results.
- h. Perform a test for homogeneity of variances. Explain fully.
To check pain-relieving medications for potential side effects on blood pressure, it is decided to give equal doses of each of four medications to test subjects. To control for the potential effect of weight, subjects are classified by weight groups. Subjects are approximately the same age and are in general good health. Two subjects in each category are chosen at random from a large group of male prison volunteers. Subjects’ blood pressures 15 minutes after the dose are shown below. Research question: Is mean blood pressure affected by body weight and/or by medication type?
