1. A study compares four groups with six observations in each group. How large does the F statistic need to be for rejecting the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level? A) 2.78 B) 2.87 C) 3.01 D) 3.10 2. In a study comparing four groups with six observations in each group, the MSE = 487 and the MSG = 3456. What is the value of the coefficient of determination? A) 0.484 B) 0.516 C) 0.587 D) 0.939 3. A study compares six groups with five observations in each group. An F statistic of 4.012 is reported. What can we say about the P-value for this F test? A) P-value < 0.001 B) 0.001 < P-value < 0.005 C) 0.005 < P-value < 0.01 D) 0.01 < P-value < 0.05Use the following to answer questions 4-5.A study was conducted to compare 5 different training programs for endurance. Forty-five subjects were randomly divided into five groups of nine subjects in each group. A different training program was assigned to each group. After two months, the improvement in endurance was recorded for each subject. A one-way ANOVA is used to compare the five training programs, and the resulting F statistic is 3.69. 4. What can we say about the P-value for this F test? A) P-value < 0.01 B) 0.01 < P-value < 0.025 C) 0.025 < P-value < 0.05 D) 0.05 < P-value < 0.10 5. At a = 0.05, what is the appropriate conclusion about improvement in endurance? A) The average amount of improvement appears to be the same for all training programs. B) The average amount of improvement appears to be different for all training programs. C) It appears that at least one of the five training programs has a different average amountof improvement than at least one of the others. D) One training program is significantly better than the other four.Use the following to answer question 6.A storeowner wishes to compare the average amount of money high school and college students spend on DVDs. He randomly selects ten students from three different student populations: high school students, undergraduate students, and graduate students. The statistical assumptions required to perform a one-way ANOVA to compare the means of these three groups are reasonable based on the data. A partially completed ANOVA table is provided below:Source Sum of Squares DF Mean Square FGroupsError 3240Total 4450 6. At the 1% significance level, would we reject the null hypothesis? A) Yes B) No C) This cannot be determined from the information given.Use the following to answer question 7.In a study on test scores of entering college freshmen, a random sample of colleges across the nation is selected and the average SAT Math score for the freshman class is recorded. The colleges are categorized according to their affiliation: Public, Private, or Church. Does it appear that freshmen entering the three different types of schools do equally well on the SAT Math? Computer output is included below:Source Sum of Squares DF Mean Square F P-valueGroups 63906.2 2 31953.1 5.696 0.005Error 353440.2 63 5610.2Total 417346.4 65 7. At a significance level of 0.05, what is the appropriate conclusion about the average SAT Math scores? A) The average SAT Math scores for freshmen attending colleges with the three different affiliations appear to be the same. B) Each of the three average SAT Math scores for freshmen attending colleges with the three different affiliations appear to be different. C) It appears that freshmen attending at least one of the three different types of college have a different average SAT Math score. D) Freshmen at one type of affiliated college have a significantly better average SAT Math score than the other two.Use the following to answer question 8. Quality ratings of a new line of refrigerated entrées were obtained from 3 groups of customers who were exposed to different types of ads about the product. One group,with 55 customers, saw ads that were designed to undermine their expected positive association of quality; a second group of 36 customers saw ads that were designed toaffirm their positive association of quality; the third group with 36 subjects served asthe control group. The following is the ANOVA table obtained from the data in the study (some entries have been replaced by **): 8. What is the estimate of the common population standard deviation s? A) B) C) D) Use the following to answer question 9. A service center for electronic equipment is conducting a study on 3 of their technicians: Joe, John, and James. All three specialize in repairing disk drives. The study was performed to study the service time of fixing the disk drives. The manager of theservice center wishes to assess if the average service times for their three technicians are equal: H0: m1 = m2 = m3. Each technician was given a random sample of disk drives, and the service time for each was recorded. The ANOVA table and descriptive statistics are given below: 9. Under the null hypothesis of equality of population means, what is the point estimate of the common mean? A) 0.166 B) 12.29 C) 24.58 D) 55.82Use the following to answer question 10.
