Chapter 9: Q43E (page 553)

Performance of a bus depot. Refer to the International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology (February 2011) study of public bus depot performance, Exercise 9.25 (p. 544). Recall that 150 customers provided overall performance ratings at each of three different bus depots (Depot 1, Depot 2, and Depot 3). The average performance scores were determined to be significantly different at 伪=.05 using an ANOVA F-test. The sample mean performance scores were reported as . The researchers employed the Bonferroni method to rank the three performance means using an experiment wise error rate of .05. Adjusted 95% confidence intervals for the differences between each pair of treatment means are shown in the table. Use this information to rank the mean performance scores at the three bus depots.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The sample size is 150.

There are three treatments.

The level of significance is 0.05.

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between each pair of treatments means are given.

02

Bonferroni method

Bonferroni method does not require equal sample size. The Bonferroni method can be applied when pairwise comparisons are of interest. The formulas for constructing confidence intervals for difference between treatment means are given below

03

Ranking the mean performance

The means for treatment x1 is 67.17.

The means for treatment x2 is 58.69.

The means for treatment x3 is 44.49.

Therefore, the rank is given by

Identifying the type of experiment. Brief descriptions of a number of experiments are given next. Determine whether each is observational or designed and explain your reasoning.

a. An economist obtains the unemployment rate and gross state product for a sample of states over the past 10 years, with the objective of examining the relationship between the unemployment rate and the gross state product by census region.

b. A manager in a paper production facility installs one of three incentive programs in each of nine plants to determine the effect of each program on productivity.

c. A marketer of personal computers runs ads in each of four national publications for one quarter and keeps track of the number of sales that are attributable to each publication鈥檚 ad.

d. An electric utility engages a consultant to monitor the discharge from its smokestack on a monthly basis over a 1-year period to relate the level of sulfur dioxide in the discharge to the load on the facility鈥檚 generators.

e. Intrastate trucking rates are compared before and after governmental deregulation of prices changed, with the comparison also taking into account distance of haul, goods hauled, and the price of diesel fuel.

Define an experiment-wise error rate.

Forecasting electrical consumption. Two different methods of forecasting monthly electrical consumption were compared and the results published in Applied Mathematics and Computation (Vol. 186, 2007). The two methods were Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Time Series Regression (TSR). Forecasts were made using each method for each of 4 months. These forecasts were also compared with the actual monthly consumption values. A layout of the design is shown in the next table. The researchers want to compare the mean electrical consumption values of the ANN forecast, TSR forecast, and Actual consumption

a. Identify the experimental design employed in the study.

Mixed gender decision-making groups. In business, a group of executives is often assigned to make key decisions. The American Journal of Political Science (April 2014) published a study on a woman鈥檚 impact on mixed-gender deliberating groups. The researchers randomly assigned subjects to one of several 5-member decision-making groups. The

groups鈥� gender composition varied as follows: 0 females, 1 female, 2 females, 3 females, 4 females, or 5 females. Each group was then randomly assigned to utilize one of two types of decision rules: unanimous or majority rule. Ten groups were created for each of the 6 * 2 = 12 combinations of gender composition and decision rule. One variable

of interest, measured for each group, was the number of words spoken by women on a certain topic per 1,000 total words spoken during the deliberations.

a. Why is this experiment considered a designed study?

b. Identify the experimental unit and dependent variable in this study.

c. Identify the factors for this study. Give the levels of each factor.

d. How many treatments are in this study? List them.
