(Solved) Question 1 The effects of sulfone concentration and - #80007


Question 1 The effects of sulfone concentration and surface temperature on the mean surface reflectivity are being studied in a 2-factor factorial experiment. The results are shown in the “Surface Condition Dataset 1”. (For this question only use x1 = sulfone concentration, x2 = surface temperature, y = surface reflectivity)

a) Write a complete regression model for this factorial experiment.

b) Do the data present sufficient evidence to indicate an interaction between sulfone concentration and surface temperature (use α = 0.01)?

b.1) The Null Hypothesis is

b.2) The rejection region is

b.3) My answer is

c) Is it appropriate to conduct tests for main effects? (Use α = 0.01)

My answer is (Yes/No)?

Why (a single sentence)?

c.1) If yes (no), what is (would have been) the null hypotheses for testing sulfone concentration

c.2) If yes (no), what is (would have been) the null hypotheses for testing surface temperature

d) Generate an ANOVA summary table and an Interaction Plot

d.1) Which statistic in the ANOVA table concurs with your answer in b.3)?

d.2) What levels of the two factors result in the highest mean surface reflectivity?

Question 2 The effects of sulfone concentration and surface temperature on the mean surface reflectivity are being studied in a 2-factor factorial experiment. The results are shown in the “Surface Condition Dataset 2”. (Suppose x2 = surface temperature, y = surface reflectivity). In each question, when the concentration is 5 grams/liter, highlight (like this) the correct statement. (Use α = 0.01)

My work and software outputs start on page

a)

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly higher when the x2 = 150 than when x2 = 75

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly lower when the x2 = 150 than when x2 = 75

The mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 150 does not significantly differ from the mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 75.

b)

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly higher when the x2 = 125 than when x2 = 175

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly lower when the x2 = 125 than when x2 = 175

The mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 125 does not significantly differ from the mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 175.

c)

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly higher when the x2 = 100 than when x2 = 75

The mean surface reflectivity is significantly lower when the x2 = 100 than when x2 = 75

The mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 100 does not significantly differ from the mean surface reflectivity when the x2 = 75.

Question 3 The table above shows the number of mistakes made in 5 successive days for 4 technicians (these are not necessarily the same 5 days for all 4 technicians). Is there sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the mean number of mistakes by the 4 technicians? (Use α = 0.01)

3.a) The regression equation is

3.b) The null hypothesis is

3.c) The rejection region is

3.d) The conclusion is

Question 4 Now suppose the experimenter had instead decided the record the number of mistakes made during the same 5 successive days for the 4 technicians. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that recording the numbers for the same 5 days for all 4 technicians made a difference? (Use α = 0.01).
