12.44 Refer to Example 11. Ignore the covariate original reflectivity. Perform an analysis of variance take α = 0.05
12.43 To determine the effect of height on power generated in a hydroelectric power plant, the following observations were made:Total height Power generated (m) (megawatts per turbine) 250 13.25 14.00 13.00 13.75 14.00 300 14.25 13.75 15.00 14.00 14.25 350 15.75 16.00 14.25 15.00 15.00 400 14.50
12.42 Assume the following data obey the one-way analysis of variance model. Treatment I: 8 9 12 7 Treatment II:54 8481 Treatment III:35 001 (a) Decompose each observation yi j as yi j = y + ( yi − y ) + ( yi j − yi ) (b) Obtain the sums of squares and degrees of freedom for each array. (c)
12.41 Use computer software to work Exercise 12.37. Do’s and Don’ts Do’s 1. Whenever possible, randomize the assignment of treatments in the completely randomized design. In other designs, randomize the assignments of treatment within the restraints of the design. 2. When numerous
12.40 To compare power consumption by a newly developed low-power USB device under three test run conditions and record the data transmission rate at the same time, a computer engineer obtained the following results, where the power consumption, x, is in Watts, and the data transmission rate, y, is
12.39 Four different railroad-track cross-section configurations were tested to determine which is most resistant to breakage under use conditions. Ten miles of each kind of track were laid in each of 5 locations, and the number of cracks and other fracture-related conditions (y) was measured over
12.38 MINITAB calculation of balanced analysis of covariance We illustrate the MINTAB commands for Example 11 concerning surface reflectivity. Data: C1(Tr) : 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 C2(x): 0.90 0.95 1.05 0.80 0.50 0.40 0.15 0.25 0.20 0.55 0.30 0.40 C3(y): 1.05 0.95 1.15 0.85 1.10 1.00 0.90 0.80
12.37 An experimenter wants to compare the time to failure y after rebuilding a robotic welder by three different methods but adjusting for the covariate x = age of robotic welder. Suppose the data, in thousands of hours, are Method 1 x y 7 2 11 5 6 2 Method 2 x y 6 4 8 5 4 3 Method 3 x y 5 6 3 5 4
12.36 The Bonferroni inequality states that P ( ∩i Ci ) ≥ 1 − i P (Ci ) (a) Show that this holds for 3 events. (b) Let Ci be the event that the ith confidence interval will cover the true value of the parameter for i = 1,..., m. If P(Ci) ≤ α/m, so the probability of not covering the
