(a)
Explanation of Solution
In this data, there are two factors, that is, the mental outlook is 2 levels and the physical condition is 3 levels.
Table -1 shows the ANOVA estimated value as follows:
Table -1
Source | Degree of freedom | Sum of square | Mean square | F |
P -value | F crit |
Sample | 2 | 2118.4 | 1059.22 | 24.48 | 0.000 | 3.17 |
Columns | 1 | 166.7 | 166.67 | 3.85 | 0.0548 | 4.02 |
Interaction | 2 | 20 | 10.02 | 0.23 | 0.7941 | 3.17 |
Within | 54 | 2336.2 | 43.26 | |||
Total | 59 | 4641.3 |
From the estimated result, the test for interaction is known, F value is 0.23, and the p-value is 0.7941. Thus, there is no adequate evidence to infer interaction.
(b)
Conclude whether the pessimists and optimists differ in their recovery times.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
From the estimated result, the F-value is 3.85 and the p-value is 0.0548. Thus, there is no adequate evidence to conclude that the differences exist between optimists and pessimists.
(c)
Conclude whether the physical condition affects the recovery times.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
From the estimated result, the F-value is 24.48 and the p-value is 0. Thus, there is adequate evidence to conclude that the differences exist between the three levels of physical condition.

- What sampling technique is used? In a research class of 40 students, the teacher divides the class into five groups, each with eight members per group. The teacher then asked the class to choose their group members based on interests, compatibility, and rapport. After the selection was made, the teacher realized that the abilities per group were uneven. He then reshuffled some members of the group to achieve equilibrium among the groups. The teacher needs ten students to represent each group. He selected one male and one female from each group based on academic performance, leadership skills, and social skills as qualities that will embody as representatives per group.arrow_forwardA number of particular articles has been classified according to their weights.

- A company is considering an organizational change which entails adopting the use of self-managed work teams which they hope will lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction. In order to assess the attitudes of employees of the company towards this change a sample of 250 employees was selected and asked whether they favor the institution of self-managed teams. Three responses were allowed: favor, neutral or oppose. The observed frequency of the results of the survey are shown below: Opinion Type of Job Favor Neutral Oppose Total Hourly Worker 25 40 35 100 Supervision 45 35 20 100 Manager 20 15 15 50 Total 90 90 70 250 Use this data to test the hypothesis that opinion and type of job are independent at the .025 level.arrow_forwardProduct Quality Value for Money Ease of use 0.8 0.6 0.7 21 0.2 0.5 0.8 3. 0.6 0.3 0.5 4 (Proposed) 0.4 0.7 0.1 Importance weight I 1.6 A company conducted a survey of shoppers to understand customer buying habits and determine the share of shoppers that a new product might attract.
