"Using Technology to Perform a Two-Way ANOVA Test In Exercises 15–18, use technology and the block design to perform a two-way ANOVA test. Use α=0.10. Interpret the results. Assume the samples are random and independent, the populations are normally distributed, and the population variances are equal.


[APPLET] Grade Point Average A study was conducted in which a sample of 24 high school students was asked to give their grade point average (GPA). The block design shows the GPAs of male and female students from four different age groups.

Bonferroni Test Shown below are weights (kg) of poplar trees obtained from trees planted in a rich and moist region. The trees were given different treatments identified in the table below. The data are from a study conducted by researchers at Pennsylvania State University and were provided by Minitab, Inc. Also shown are partial results from using the Bonferroni test with the sample data.

b. What do the displayed Bonferroni SPSS results tell us?

In Exercises 21 and 22, (e) interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. Assume the samples are random and independent, the populations are normally distributed, and the population variances are equal.

[APPLET] The table shows the monthly electric bills (in dollars) for a sample of households from four regions of the United States. At α=0.10, can you conclude that the mean monthly electric bill is different in at least one of the regions? (Adapted from U.S. Energy Information Administration)

[APPLET] Advertising A study was conducted in which a sample of 20 adults was asked to rate the effectiveness of advertisements. Each adult rated a radio or television advertisement that lasted 30 or 60 seconds. The block design shows these ratings (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being extremely effective).
