At an assembly plant, workers assemble parts for a piece of farm equipment. The supervisor conducted an experiment to compare the effectiveness of three assembly methods, A, B, and C. Eighteen employees were randomly assigned, six employees each, to one of the
three methods. After completing their training, each person was asked to assemble five pieces of equipment using his or her training method. The average time to complete the assembly of all five pieces of equipment was recorded.
(a) What type of study design is used?
O independent groups design
O repeated measures design
O matched pairs design
O randomized block design
What are the experimental units in this study?
O the 18 employees
O the five pieces of equipment to be assembled
O the three assembly methods
O the average time to assemble five pieces of equipment
(b) What are the treatments?
O the 18 employees
O the five pieces of equipment to be assembled

In a study, the effects of the mane of a male lion as a signal of quality to mates and rivals was explored. Four life-sized dummies of male lions provided a tool for testing female response to the unfamiliar lions whose manes varied by length (long or short) and color (blonde or dark). The female lions were observed to see whether they approached each of the four life-sized dummies. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
a. Identify the experimental units. Choose the correct answer below.
The female lions
The male dummies
The mane colors
The mane lengths
Part 2
b. Identify the response variable. Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Whether or not (yes or no) the mane length affected how the female lions reacted to a male dummy.
B.
Whether or not (yes or no) the female lions approached the same dummies.
C.
Whether or not (yes or no) the female lions approached a male dummy.
D.
Whether or not…
A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus.
Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount
of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or
outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in
seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed?
