The article “Optimum Design of an A-pillar Trim with Rib Structures for Occupant Head Protection” (H. Kim and S. Kang. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. 2001:1161–1169) discusses a study in which several types of A-pillars were compared to determine which provided the greatest protection to occupants of automobiles during a collision. Following is a one-way ANOVA table, where the treatments are three levels of longitudinal spacing of the rib (the article also discussed two insignificant factors, which are omitted here). There were nine replicates at each level. The response is the head injury criterion (HIC), which is a unitless quantity that measures the impact energy absorption of the pillar.
The treatment
- a. Can you conclude that the longitudinal spacing affects the absorption of impact energy?
- b. Use the Tukey–Kramer method to determine which pairs of treatment means, if any. are different at the 5% level.
- c. Use the Bonferroni method to determine which pairs of treatment means, if any, are different at the 5% level.
- d. Which method is more powerful in this case, the Tukey-Kramer method or the Bonferroni method?

- An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of machining factors on ceramicstrength. Two levels of table speed (slow and fast), two directions (longitudinal and transverse) and two levelsof wheel grit (I and II) were identified by the researcher. The experiment was replicated three times and thestrength of each randomly selected ceramic was obtained. The ANOVA table of the results of the analysis areas follows. 1. Refer to the ANOVA table at a=0.01, what is the conclusion for testing significance in 3-way interaction Reject/Fail to Reject Ho 2. If sequential test of hypothesis is performed the following are (True or False)? a. All 2-way interaction effects are going to be tested b. All main effects are going to be tested 3. What combination of effects will result to a significant result at a=0.01 if should all test are going to be performed among the main effects and two way interactions?

The rare booted eagle of western Europe was the focus of a study by S. Suarez et al. to identify optimal nesting habitat for this raptor. According to their paper “Nesting Habitat Selection by Booted Eagles (Hieraaetus pennatus) and Implications for Management” (Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 37, pp. 215–223), the distances of such nests to the nearest marshland are normally distributed with mean 4.66 km and standard deviation 0.75 km.

- 3. Dentists make many people nervous. To assess any effect of such nervousness on blood pressure, the systolic blood pressure of 60 subjects was measured both in a dental setting and in a medical setting (The Effect of the Dental Setting on Blood Pressure Measurement," Amer. J. of Public Health, 1983:1210- 1214). For each subject, the difference between dental setting pressure and medical setting pressure was computed; the resulting sample mean difference and sample standard deviation of the differences were 4.47 and 8.77 mmHg, respectively. o (a) Estimate the true mean difference between blood pressures for these two settings using a 99% confidence level. o (b) Does it appear that the true mean pressure is different in a dental setting than in a medical setting?
