13. There are two methods to answer this question. Using the six-step method we have the
following.
Step 1: Ho: 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 H1: Treatment means are not all equal
Step 2: 5% level chosen for us.
Step 3: Use an F-statistic
Step 4: Reject Ho if F > 3.71
Step 5: Here is the ANOVA Table
Source SS df MS F
Treatment 32.33 3 10.77 2.36
Error 45.67 10 4.567
Total 78.00 13
Since 2.36 is less than 3.71, Ho is not rejected.
Step 6: There is no difference in the mean number of weeks.
Alternatively we can interpret the p-value given in the output. A p-value of 0.133 is
above the significance level, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Regardless of the
method used to test the hypothesis, we find there is no difference in the mean number
of weeks. (LO12-2)

14. a. The hypothesis is Ho: 1 = 2 =

H1: At least one mean differs
The critical value is 3.74 as the numerator degrees of freedom is 2, the denominator
degrees of freedom is 14, and a significance level of 5%.
Since 15.61 > 3.74, Ho is rejected. At least one mean rate of return differs.
b. Since 0 is not between -7.121 and -2.935 the mean rates of return from utility stocks
and retail stocks are different.
Since 0 is between -3.066 and 1.121, the mean rates of return from utility and banking
stocks may be the same.
Since 0 is not between 2.060 and 6.051, the mean rates of return from retail and
banking stocks are different.

Since the machine p-value (0.502) is greater than 0.05, it appears there is no
difference in the mean sales by machine. The p-value for position (0.007) is less than
0.05 indicating there is evidence that mean sales inside and outside are different.
However, there is a considerable interaction between those factors. Further study is
recommended.
c. T-statistics for the null hypothesis that sales inside are equal to sales outside for each
of the machines are: -6.39, -2.41, and 3.22 for the D-320, J-1000, and UV-57,
respectively. We would not reject the null hypothesis of equal means if the t value is
between -2.571 and 2.571 for the J-1000 and D-320 and if the t-value is between
-2.776 and 2.776 for UV-57. Thus, at the 0.05 level of significance, you can conclude
that D-320 does better outside and the UV-57 does better inside. (LO12-5)

The p-value for gender (0.02) is less than 0.05 indicating a difference in mean
salaries by gender. Since the area p-value (0.494) is greater than 0.05, it appears there
is no difference in the mean salaries by area. However, there is interaction between
those factors and further investigation is needed.
c. The t-statistics for the null hypothesis that mean female salaries is equal to mean male
salaries by area are 0.34, -0.92 and -5.87 for manufacturing, marketing, and R & D,
respectively. These test statistics assume unequal variances. At the 0.05 level of
significance the critical values are 2.776, 2.776 and 2.571 respectively.
You deduce there is no difference in the first two areas but there is a substantial
difference in R & D. (LO12-5)

The hypothesis of identical means can definitely be rejected since the p-value is virtually zero.
As seen from the non-overlapping confidence intervals, clothes have a mean attention span at
least ten minutes below the other groups.

(-24.45 , -12.38) Clothes Food
(-30.78 , -18.49) Clothes Toys

This reduces to 64.94 38.68. So the difference is between 103.62 and 26.26. To
put it another way, Bluebird is less costly than Thompson by an amount between
$26.26 and $103.62. Because the confidence interval does not include zero we know
the difference is statistically significant at the 5% level. (LO12-3)
