otherwise Do not answer question yes or no without giving reasons Show your work in questions that are not multiple choice 1 Turn in your computer problems 2 and 3 marked to show the following 5 points 2 point penalty for not doing a In problem 2 what is tested and what are the results b In problem 3 what coefficients are significant What is your evidence c In the last graph in problem 3 where is the regression line 5 2 Dummeldinger As part of a study to investigate the effect of helmet design on football injuries head width measurements were taken for 30 subjects randomly selected from each of 3 groups High school football players college football players and college students who do not play football so that there are a total of 90 observations with the object of comparing the typical head widths of the three groups If the researchers assume that the data in each of these three groups comes from a Normally distributed population they should use the following method a The Kruskal Wallis test b One way ANOVA c The Friedman test d Two Way ANOVA 2 7 3 Sandy Which of the following is not an assumption required for 1 way ANOVA wth 4 columns a 1 2 3 4 b All of the columns are random samples c All of the population have to be Normally distributed d 1 2 3 4 2 9 4 If we are comparing the means of 5 random samples and find the following x1 10 x 2 12 x 3 11 x 4 13 x 5 14 s1

11 2 is only used in comparing medians and proportions n n j 35 so total degrees of freedom are 34 There are 5 columns so degrees of freedom between are 4 Thus there are 34 4 30 degrees of freedom MSB

between the means We know that as confidence levels go up confidence intervals have to get wider The individual confidence interval by itself has a confidence level of 99 but since the Tukey and Scheff intervals have a collective confidence level of 99 the individual confidence intervals must have confidence levels above 99 1 7 If we do a 1 way ANOVA and find the following Sandy 12 50 12 51
