(a) (1pt) Calculate the overall mean of the sample.
(b) (1pt) Calculate the group means of the sample.
(c) (1pt) Break up the first observation into its mean, treatment and residual component.
(d) (2pts) Given the between sums of squares (B) and within sums of squares (W) matrices below calculate the Wilks’ Λ∗ = |W|/|W + B|. Do you think this value would be significant?

3. The following plots correspond to the measurements from the experiments on an electronic nose. Samples
of Pepsi twist have been split in two and the noses have been set to sniff for the presence of lemon (Var 1)
and cola (Var 2). The two groups correspond to replications. The T 2 statistic for the differences between
the replications was calculated to be 17.1.
(a) (1pt) What hypothesis is the T 2 statistic testing?
(b) (1pt) If the critical value at the 5% significance level is 7.5, would you accept or reject the null
hypothesis?
(c) (2pts) The following plot show the data. Does the T 2 statistic match this data? (That is, could there
have been a mistake in the calculation?) Explain your answer.
