Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
It is given that there are four lighting methods, levels for block is three and the number of replication is three. The observed sum of squares are
Factor A is treatment and B is block.
The ANOVA table can be obtained as follows:
The level of significance is 0.05.
The number of levels of the lighting methods is denoted as I.
Here
The number of degrees of freedom for the lighting methods is,
Thus, the number of degrees of freedom for the lighting methods is 3.
The number of levels for blocks is denoted as J.
Here
The number of degrees of freedom for blocks is,
Thus, the number of degrees of freedom for blocks is 2.
The number of degrees of freedom for interactions is,
Thus, the number of degrees of freedom for interactions is 6.
The number of replication is denoted as K.
Here
The number of degrees of freedom for error is,
Thus, the number of degrees of freedom for error is 24.
The number of degrees of freedom for total is,
The mean square of A can be obtained as follows:
Substitute
Thus, the value of

Interaction:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
For interaction, the F-test statistic is 1.0282 and
Decision:
If
If

at
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Factor A is lighting.
Main effect of factor A:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:

Decision:
If
If
Conclusion:
Factor A:
Here, the P-value is less than the level of significance.
That is,
Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected.
Thus, lighting type affects the illuminance.

- An educational psychologist would like to determine whether access to computers has an effect on grades for high school students. One group of n = 16 students has home room each day in a computer classroom which each student has a computer. A comparison group of n = 16 students has home room in a traditional classroom. At the end of the school year, the average grade was recorded for each student. The data are as follows: Computer: Traditional: M = 86 M = 82.5SS = 1005 SS = 1155 A)Is there a significant difference between the two groups on school performance? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. B)Conduct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean difference between a computer classroom and a regular classroom. (1 pt.)

- During a particularly dry growing season in a southern state, farmers noticed that there is a delicate balance between the number of seeds that are planted per square foot and the yield of the crop in pounds per square foot. The yields were the smallest when the number of seeds per square foot was either very small or very large. The data in the table show various numbers of seeds planted per square foot and yields (in pounds per square foot) for a sample of fields. A 2-column table with 15 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of seeds (per square foot) with entries 28, 75, 30, 43, 71, 35, 40, 59, 66, 79, 85, 81, 16, 33, 16.

- A study was developed to evaluate effectiveness of a weight loss diet plan. An ad was placed in two towns to locate study participants who were to follow the diet. In Town A, the clinicians asked each dieter to report how much weight they had lost over the previous 6 weeks while following the diet. In Town B, the clinicians weighed each dieter at the beginning of the study and again after 6 weeks on the diet program. The weight lost was calculated as the difference between the beginning weight and the weight after 6 weeks. At the end of the study, it was determined that Town B had lost significantly less weight than Town A. 1.What is the population of interest in this situation? 2.

A sample of 30 four-year-old children from a local preschool was used in the study. Sugar consumption was measured by interviewing the parents about each child’s diet. Based on the result of the interview, each child was then placed into one of two groups: high sugar consumption and low sugar consumption. Activity level was measured by observing the children during a regular preschool afternoon. Finally, Dr. Jones compared the activity level for the high-sugar group with the activity level for the low-sugar group. Explain why Dr. Jones’ study is not an example of the experimental research strategy and provide way that it can be tested experimentally.arrow_forward
