Question:

Group Project: It is of interest to determine which type of sports ball can be thrown the longest distance. The competition involves a tennis ball, a baseball, and a softball. Divide the class into teams of five individuals. Each team should design and conduct a separate experiment. Each team should also analyze the data from its own experiment. For a given team, each of the five individuals will throw each ball (after sufficient arm warmup). The experimental response will be the distance (in feet) that the ball is thrown. The data for each team will involve 15 observations. Important points: 

(a) This is not a competition among teams. The competition is among the three types of sports balls. One would expect that the conclusion drawn by each team would be similar.
(b) Each team should be gender mixed.
(c) The experimental design for each team should be a randomized complete block design. The five individuals throwing are the blocks.
(d) Be sure to incorporate the appropriate randomization in conducting the experiment.
(e) The results should contain a description of the experiment with an ANOVA table complete with a P-value and appropriate conclusions. Use graphical techniques where appropriate. Use multiple comparisons where appropriate. Draw practical conclusions concerning differences between the ball types. Be thorough.
