Based on KNNL problem 20.2-20.4 on page 889. Coin-operated terminals. A university
computer service conducted an experiment in which one coin-operated computer terminal
was placed at each of four different locations on the campus last semester during the midterm
week and again during the final week of classes. The data that follow show the number of
hours each terminal was NOT in use during the week at the four locations (factor A) and for
the two different weeks (factor B).
Factor B
Factor A j=1 j=2
(location) Midterm Final
i=1 16.5 21.4
i=2 11.8 17.3
i=3 12.3 16.9
i=4 16.6 21.0
(a) Plot the dat in the format of Figure 20.1. Does it appear that interaction effects are
present? Does it appear that factor A and factor B main effects are present?

No clear interaction effect presented since the four line seem to be parallel to each other.
Changing location wouldnt affect the relationship between week and average time of
no in use.
It does appear to have main effects for factor A and B respectively. Lower average
number of hours the terminal isnt in use is in week 1 (vs week 2) and location 2 & 3
(vs location 1 & 4)
(d) Carry out tests for location and week effects; use a level of significance = 0.05. State
your conclusions.

Model: yij = + i + j + ij where 4i=1 i = 0 and 2j=1 j = 0 and ij iid(0, 2 )
(e) Conduct the Tukeys test for additivity to decide if interaction effects can be ignored at
a level of significance = 0.05. State your conclusions.
