An experimenter was interested in the effects of three types of therapy and gender on a measure of quality of life. She designed the experiment so that the male subjects were randomly assigned to the different therapies and the female subjects were also randomly assigned to the different therapies. The type of therapy was experimentally manipulated and after six months the outcome was measured. A two-factor design was used. How many independent variables are there in this design? Name each factor (using appropriate descriptors from the paragraph) How many total groups (cells) are there in this design? Name the dependent variable:

A phamaceutical company wants to test the effectiveness of a new allergy drug. The company identifies 250 females 30-35 years old who suffer from severe allergies. The subjects are randomly assigned into two groups. One group is given the new allergy drug and the other is given a placebo that looks exactly like the new allergy drug. After six months, the subjects' symptoms are studied and compared. Answer parts (a) through (c) below. O B. The experimental units are the symptoms from the drug. The treatment is the new allergy drug. O C. The experimental unit is the new allergy drug. The treatments are the severe allergies the patients suffer from. O D. The experimental units are the 30- to 35-year-old females being given the treatment. The treatment is the new allergy drug. (b) Identify a potential problem with the experiment design being used and suggest a way to improve it. Choose the correct answer below. O A. There may be a bias on the part of the patients since they do not know if…
A psychologist studied the alcohol consumption patterns of people in two age groups. One group consisted of people aged 21 to 35, and the other consisted of people aged 36 to 50. The psychologist interviewed random and independent samples from each group. She assigned a score from 0 to 100 to each individual (a score of 0 meant no alcohol consumption) according to factors such as the frequency and the amount of alcohol consumed. The results from the study are summarized below.
The district manager of Jasons, a large discount electronics chain, is investigating why certain stores in her region are performing better than others. She believes that three factors are related to total sales: the number of competitors in the region, the population in the surrounding area, and the amount spent on advertising. From her district consisting of several hundred stores, she selects a random sample of 30 stores. For each store, she gathered the following information. y = total sales last year (in $ thousands) x1 = number of competitors in the region x2 = population of the region (in millions) x3 = advertising expense (in $ thousands) The results of a multiple regression analysis, using Minitab, follow.

Four factors are thought to influence the taste of the dietary product: A - type of sweetener; B – fruit content; C – percentage fat matter; D - temperature. A full factorial experiment was conducted with these 4 factors. At each run in the design, samples of the dietary product were tested by panel of experts who rated the taste on a scale from 1 to 10, the response variable taken being the sum of individual ratings. The results are listed in the table below, in the standard order of runs. Generate the design for this experiment, analyse the results by producing main effects and interactions plots and discuss the most significant factors that can be used to find a formulation that maximises the total score.

An experiment is conducted to investigate the toxic effect of three chemicals, A, B, and C on the skin of rats. Three adjacent 1-inch squares are marked on the backs of 8 rats and each of the 3 chemicals is applied to each rat. The squares of the skin are then scored from 0 to 10, depending on the degree of irritation. The data on the outcome of the experiment are given in the following table: Rat 1 2 3 4 5 7 1.0 A B C| Rank A Rank B Rank C 6 5 3 11.5 6.0 1.5 9 8 4 23.0 20.0 3.0 6 11.5 23.0 1.5 6.0 20.0 11.5 16.5 20.0 23.0 6.0 16.5 11.5 11.5 16.5 6.0 11.5 6.0 16.5 5 6 7 8 Σyi 1.0 9 3 8 6 8 9 7 6 7 5 7 50 57 43 10 5 6 6 5 10 For the original data set 1-1 ij = 150, and ₁1-13 = 1006. From the ranks of the original data set the rank sums are RA = 97.5, RB = 128, Rc = 74.5 respectively. At a = 1%, is there sufficient evidence to support the research hypothesis that the probability distributions of skin irritation scores for the 3 chemicals differ in location? (a) Stating relevant…
A company wishes to evaluate the effect of package design on one of its products, a certain brand of cereal. The four package designs are to be tested in different stores throughout a large city. There are 20 stores available for the study. The amount of cereal sold is known to vary depending on the size of the stores. The 20 stores are divided into five groups of four stores each by size. The following sales figures ($1000s) were obtained after a 1-month period. Stores Design A Design B Design C Design D 1 40 33 37 38 2 45 27 32 40 3 43 31 30 41 4 44 38 40 42 5 56 45 49 42 Enter the above data into a suitable software and then conduct an analysis of variance with blocking (analyze this data as a complete block design) to test further whether there is evidence of a significant difference in mean sales of different package designs. Use alpha = 0.01. What are the mean squares for Treatments? Provide your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places.
