I. (10+ points) Do all the following;
1. Hand in your computer printouts for problems 2 and 3.(5 points – 3 point penalty for not handing in).
remember that the ANOVA printout must be completed, using a 5% significance level, for full credit. I
should be able to tell what is tested and what are the conclusions.
2. Do not do the following unless you handed in at least two outputs.
On the next few pages there are problems very much like the ones you did.
a. A random survey of CEOs (Don Black) asks the question "Do you agree that an increase of
market share is a reason to consider a merger?" Responses (Agree?) were between 5 and 1, with 5
indicating strong agreement. Responses were classified in 2 ways, with 'years' dividing respondents
according to the number of years they had been with the company and 'size' dividing firms according to the
companies' sales in millions of dollars. The output follows.

(i) Complete the ANOVA table that compares the effect of size and years on the response of the CEOs. (2)
Solution: Most of this table is copied from above. F is gotten by dividing MS by the error (within) mean
square. The F.05 column contains values found in the F table. If the F we computed exceeds the table F we
put an 's' (significant) in the F column, otherwise we put in a 'ns' ( not significant)

(ii) Is there a statistically significant difference between the means for responses of CEOs of firms of
different sizes? Show what numbers brought you to your conclusion. (2)
Solution: Yes. The 'Size' line is marked significant as explained in (i). This means that we reject the null
hypothesis of no significant difference for the means of the 4 'size' categories.

b. Ken Black says that the Delta Wire Corporation believes that the more positive outlook created
by employee education sessions results in greater interest in the job, and thus fewer sick days per worker. A
random sample of workers is taken, and a regression is run with 'sick' (number of sick days per worker) as
the dependent variable and 'educ' (number of hours of employee education) as the independent variable.
Part of the output appears below.

(i) What equation does it give to relate education hours to number of sick days? How many sick days does it
predict that someone with 12 hours of education will take? (2)


Solution: The equation can be written Y  7.75  0.0795 x or Y  7.7455  0.07946 x . Depending on which


version we substitute 12 into, we get Y  7.75  0.079512  6.796 or Y  7.7455  0.0794612  6.792 .
(ii) What test or tests would lead you to believe that the company is correct? Cite evidence using a 5%
significance level.(2) Solution: The company has asserted that more education will cut down sick days.
They are right if 'educ' has a significant negative coefficient. (-0.07946) is negative and the p-value for the t
test is zero. This means that we would reject the null hypothesis of insignificance at any level. Alternately,
compare the t of -5.17 with the 5% value of t with 18 (from the 'Error' line in the ANOVA) degrees of
freedom.

II. Do at least 4 of the following 5 Problems (at least 10 each) (or do sections adding to at least 40 points Anything extra you do helps, and grades wrap around) . Show your work! State H 0 and H1 where
applicable. Never say 'yes' or 'no' without a statistical test.

a. In the ANOVA problem beginning on page 1, there is a plot for an individual 95% confidence
interval for the mean for size 3.
(i) Figure out, using your formulas and the data on the pages, what this interval actually
is.(2)
(ii) Is there a significant difference between the means for level 1 and level 2 of 'years?
To answer this question, do 95% confidence intervals for the difference between these two means
that are () Valid when used alone. (1) () Valid when used with other possible differences
between means. (2) and state a conclusion (1)
b. In the regression problem on page 3.
(i) Add a regression line to the graph (1)
(ii) Do a 99% confidence interval for the slope of the equation. (2)
(iii) Find s e2 from the printout and (if the sample mean for x is 37.70 and the sample
standard deviation for x is 36.67) do a confidence interval for the mean number of sick
days taken by someone with 12 hours of education (4).
Solution: a) (i) From the printout, in the COUNT table, we can find out that there are R  4 rows,
C  3 columns and P  4 measurements per cell. We can also see that MSW  0.472 and has 36 degrees of

significant.
b) In the regression problem on page 3.
(i) Just connect the x's

2. According to Ken Black an agricultural researcher planted parts of six blocks of land with peanuts , using
each of three different methods.. Part of the results are given below. Data is yield per acre in thousands.
Assume that the parent distribution is Normal and compare the mean yields for the three methods noting the
fact that it is cross-classified. Use   .01 . (14) Note: If you wish to ignore the fact that the data is blocked,
indicate this now and compare the column means assuming that the data is three independent random
samples from a normal distribution.(10). (   .01 )

Solution: As we said many times -- If the parent distribution is Normal use ANOVA, if it's not
Normal, use Friedman or Kruskal-Wallis. If the samples are independent random samples use 1-way
ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis. If they are cross-classified, use Friedman or 2-way ANOVA.
a) 2-way ANOVA (Blocked by block) ‘s’ indicates that the null hypothesis is rejected.

b. A researcher looks at the effect of industry (Factor A) and size (measured by $millions in sales)
(Factor B) on Research and Development expenditures as a per cent of sales. A sample is taken of 4 firms in
each industry-size category. The sample is repeated over three different years (Factor C). If the researcher
looks at 3 size categories within 5 industries over the three years, Generate an ANOVA table showing all
possible interactions, using the following data. SSA = 24.021, SSB = 4.829, SSC = 4.029, SSAB = 9.059,
SSAC = 14.976, SSBC = 2.528, SSABC = 9.615, SST = 154.047. Using a 5% significance level, explain
whether the size of the firm and the industry seem to make a difference in R&D expenditures. Which of the
other differences and interactions are significant.? (7)

b) There are 5 industries, 3 sizes and 3 years or 5  3  3  45 groups with 4 observations in each group, so
n  45  4  180 . . ‘s’ means ‘significant difference’ ( H 0 rejected), ‘ns’ means ‘no significant difference’
( H 0 accepted). It seems that both industry (Factor A) and size (measured by $millions in sales) (Factor B)
make a difference in Research and Development expenditures since their Fs are significant. Year (Factor C)
and Interaction AC also have an effect.

For the Chi-Squared Method, we have had to merge two cells, because the first E was below 5. We
thus have 6 - 1 = 5 degrees of freedom. The value of Chi-squared that we compute is 198.1767 - 100 =
98.1767. From the Chi-squared table  .2055  11 .0705 . This is less than our computed  2 , so reject H 0 .
