Textbook Question
Chapter 9.2, Problem 9.17LM
Consider dot plots 1 and 2 shown below. Assume that the two samples represent independent, random samples corresponding to two treatments in a completely randomized design.
Dot plots for Exercise 9.17
- a. In which plot is the difference between the sample means small relative to the variability within the sample observations? Justify your answer.
- b. Calculate the treatment means (i.e., the means of samples 1 and 2) for both dot plots.
- c. Use the means to calculate the Sum of Squares for Treatments (SST) for each dot plot.
- d. Calculate the sample variance for each sample and use these values to obtain the Sum of Squares for Error (SSE) for each dot plot.
- e. Calculate the Total Sum of Squares [SS(Total)] for the two dot plots by adding the Sums of Squares for Treatments and Error. What percentage of SS(Total) is accounted for by the treatments—that is, what percentage of the Total Sum of Squares is the Sum of Squares for Treatments—in each case?
- f. Convert the Sums of Squares for Treatments and Error to
mean squares by dividing each by the appropriate number of degrees of freedom. Calculate the F-ratio of the Mean Square for Treatments (MST) to the Mean Square for Error (MSE) for each dot plot. - g. Use the F-ratios to test the null hypothesis that the two samples are drawn from populations with equal means. Use α = .05.
- h. What assumptions must be made about the probability distributions corresponding to the responses for each treatment to ensure the validity of the F-tests conducted in part g?

Show your work
A stenographer claims that she can take
dictation at the rate of 120 words per minute.
Can we reject her claim on the basis of 100
trials in which she demonstrates a mean of
116 words with a standard deviation of 15
words? Use 5 per cent level of significance.
If the E(u|X) does not equal 0.
How can this assumption be relaxed if the sample size grows infinitely?
Suppose you select a random sample of 16 students from a population that has mean of µ = 75 and standard deviation of ơ = 20. You want to know what would be considered a ‘typical’ sample mean for a sample of n = 16. To answer your question, you compute the two sample means that define the middle 95% of the distribution of sample means. Show your work, sketch the distribution, and shade in the area of interest. Hint: Sample means that are in the extreme 5% of the distribution (2.5% in each tail of the distribution) are considered ‘atypical’ or ‘extreme.’

Two women, Anna and Bess, claim to be the legal owners of a diamond ring that - each claims - has great sentimental value. Neither of them can produce evidence of ownership and nobody else is staking a claim on the ring. Judge Sabio wants the ring to go to the legal owner, but he does not know which of the two women is in fact the legal owner. He decides to proceed as follows. First he announces a fine of $F > 0 and then asks Anna and Bess to play the following game. Move 1: Anna moves first. Either she gives up her claim to the ring (in which case Bess gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or she asserts her claim, in which case the game proceeds to Move 2. Move 2: Bess either accepts Anna's claim (in which case Anna gets the ring, the game ends and nobody pays the fine) or challenges her claim. In the latter case, Bess must put in a bid, call it B, and Anna must pay the fine of $F to Sabio. The game goes on to Move 3.
