Chapter 12: Q1BSC (page 566)

In Exercises 1鈥�4, use the following listed arrival delay times (minutes) for American Airline flights from New York to Los Angeles. Negative values correspond to flights that arrived early. Also shown are the SPSS results for analysis of variance. Assume that we plan to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different flights have the same mean arrival delay time.

ANOVA

a. What characteristic of the data above indicates that we should use one-way analysis of variance?

b. If the objective is to test the claim that the three flights have the same mean arrival delay time, why is the method referred to as analysis of variance?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The fact that the factor, arrival delay time, is compared over three different categories (flight numbers) indicates the use of one-way analysis of variance.
  1. As three different mean values for varied categories of a single factor are desired to be compared using the two components of variance, the method is referred to as analysis of variance.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The arrival delay times for three flights are known.

The significance level is known to be 0.05.

The SPSS output for analysis of variance is known.

02

Condition to use one-way analysis of variance

One-way analysis of variance is used for comparing the mean of the data for one particular factor over different categories.

03

Identify the characteristic

a.

The arrival delay times of three flights areknown.

The independent variable of the study, referred to as the factor, is the arrival delay time. The variable is categorized into three categories; flights 1, 19, and 21. For comparison of the factors across three different categories, a one-way analysis of variance can be used.

04

Explain the method of analysis of variance

b.

The method to compare the mean values of the arrival delay time of three flights is referred to as analysis of variance because the following two components of variance are involvedin testing the claim:

  • Sum of squares between the groups
  • Sum of squares within the groups.

These are further used to compute the test statistic based on F-distribution.

Balanced Design Does the table given in Exercise 1 constitute a balanced design? Why or why not?

Arsenic in Rice Listed below are amounts of arsenic in samples of brown rice from three different states. The amounts are in micrograms of arsenic and all samples have the same serving size. The data are from the Food and Drug Administration. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. Do the amounts of arsenic appear to be different in the different states? Given that the amounts of arsenic in the samples from Texas have the highest mean, can we conclude that brown rice from Texas poses the greatest health problem?

Quarters Assume that weights of quarters minted after 1964 are normally distributed with a mean of 5.670 g and a standard deviation of 0.062 g (based on U.S. Mint specifications).

a. Find the probability that a randomly selected quarter weighs between 5.600 g and 5.700 g.

b. If 25 quarters are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is greater than 5.675 g.

c. Find the probability that when eight quarters are randomly selected, they all weigh less than 5.670 g.

d. If a vending machine is designed to accept quarters with weights above the 10th percentile P10, find the weight separating acceptable quarters from those that are not acceptable.

Cola Weights The displayed results from Exercise 1 are from one-way analysis of variance. What is it about this test that characterizes it as one-way analysis of variance instead of two-way analysis of variance?
