HW3

The document outlines various statistical analyses involving ANOVA and residual analysis for different experiments, including the effects of mixing techniques on cement strength, dosage levels on drug bioactivity, and variations in battery life among brands. It includes instructions for hypothesis testing, comparisons of means using Fisher's LSD and Tukey's tests, and the analysis of residuals to assess model adequacy. Additionally, it addresses the significance of variations in temperature among ovens in a metalworking shop.

3.11 The tensile strength of Portland cement is being studied. Four different mixing techniques can be used economically. A
completely randomized experiment was conducted and the following data were collected:
(a) Test the hypothesis that mixing techniques affect the strength of the cement. Use 𝛼 = 0.05.
(c) Use the Fisher LSD method with 𝛼 = 0.05 to make comparisons between pairs of means.

(d) Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals. What conclusion would you draw about-the validity of the normality
assumption?

(e) Plot the residuals versus the predicted tensile strength. Comment on the plot.

(f) Prepare a scatter plot of the results to aid the interpretation of the results of this experiment.

3.12 (a). Rework part (c) of Problem 3.11 using Tukey’s test with 𝛼 = 0.05. Do you get the same conclusions from
Tukey’s test that you did from the graphical proce- dure and/or the Fisher LSD method?

(b) Explain the difference between the Tukey and Fisher procedures.

3.16 A pharmaceutical manufacturer wants to investigate the bioactivity of a new drug. A completely randomized
single-factor experiment was conducted with three dosage levels, and the following results were obtained.
(a) Is there evidence to indicate that dosage level affects bioactivity? Use 𝛼 = 0.05.
(b) If it is appropriate to do so, make comparisons between the pairs of means. What conclusions can you draw?

(c) Analyze the residuals from this experiment and comment on model adequacy.

3.29 Four chemists are asked to determine the percent- age of methyl alcohol in a certain chemical compound. Each

(a) Do chemists differ significantly? Use 𝛼 = 0.05.


(b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.

3.30 Three brands of batteries are under study. It is sus- pected that the lives (in weeks) of the three brands are
different. Five randomly selected batteries of each brand are tested with the following results:

(a) Are the lives of these brands of batteries different?

(b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.

(d) Which brand would you select for use? If the manufac- turer will replace without charge any battery that fails in less than
3.31 Four catalysts that may affect the concentration of one component in a three-component liquid mixture are being

(a) Do the four catalysts have the same effect on the con- centration?

(b) Analyze the residuals from this experiment.


3.35 Several ovens in a metal working shop are used to heat metal specimens. All the ovens are supposed to operate at the

(a) Is there significant variation in temperature between ovens? Use 𝛼 = 0.05.

(b) Estimate the components of variance for this model.

(c) Analyze the residuals from this experiment and draw conclusions about model adequacy.
