CHAPTER TEACHING STRATEGY This important chapter opens the door for students to a broader view of statistics than they have seen to this time. Through the topic of experimental designs, the student begins to understand how they can scientifically set up controlled experiments in which to test certain hypotheses. They learn about independent and dependent variables. With the completely randomized design, the student can see how the t test for two independent samples can be expanded to include three or more samples by using analysis of variance. This is something that some of the more curious students were probably wondering about in chapter 10. Through the randomized block design and the factorial designs, the student can understand how we can analyze not only multiple categories of one variable, but we can simultaneously analyze multiple variables with several categories each. Thus, this chapter affords the instructor an opportunity to help the student develop a structure for statistical analysis.
In this chapter, we emphasize that the total sum of squares in a given problem do not change. In the completely randomized design, the total sums of squares are parceled into between treatments sum of squares and error sum of squares. By using a blocking design when there is significant blocking, the blocking effects are removed from the error effects which reduceseffect, which reduces the size of the mean square error and can potentially create a more powerful test of the treatment. A similar thing happens in the two-way factorial design when one significant treatment variable siphons off the sum of squares from the error term that reduces the mean square error and creates the potential for a more powerful test of the other treatment variable. In presenting the random block design in this chapter, the emphasis is on determining if the F value for the treatment variable is significant or not. There is a deemphasis on examining the F value of the blocking effects. However, if the blocking effects are not significant, the random block design may be a less powerful analysis of the treatment effects. If the blocking effects are not significant, even though the error sum of squares is reduced, the mean square error might increase because the blocking effects may reduce the degrees of freedom error in a proportionaly greater amount. This might result in a smaller treatment F value than would occur in a completely randomized design. The repeated-measures design is shown in the chapter as a special case of the random block design. In factorial designs, if there are multiple values in the cells, it is possible to analyze interaction effects. Random block designs do not have multiple values in cells and therefore interaction effects cannot be calculated. It is emphasized in this chapter that if significant interaction occurs, then the main effects analysis are confounded and should not be analyzed in the usual manner. There are various philosophies about how to handle significant interaction but are beyond the scope of this chapter. The main factorial example problem in the chapter was created to have no significant interaction so that the student can learn how to analyze main effects. The demonstration problem has significant interaction and these interactions are displayed graphically for the student to see. You might consider taking this same problem and graphing the interactions using row effects along the x axis and graphing the column means for the student to see. There are a number of multiple comparison tests available. In this text, one of the more well-known tests, Tukey's HSD, is featured in the case of equal sample sizes. When sample sizes are unequal, a variation on Tukeys HSD, the Tukey-Kramer test, is used. MINITAB uses the Tukey testTukey test as one of its options under multiple comparisons and uses the Tukey-Kramer test for unequal sample sizes. Tukey's HSD is one of the more powerful multiple comparison tests but protectsbut protects less against Type I errors than some of the other tests.

11.15 There are 4 treatment levels. The sample sizes are 18, 15, 21, and 11. The F value is 2.95 with a p-value of .04. There is an overall significant difference at alpha of .05. The means are 226.73, 238.79, 232.58, and 239.82.
11.16 The independent variable for this study was plant with five classification levels (the five plants). There were a total of 43 workers who participated in the study. The dependent variable was number of hours worked per week. An observed F value of 3.10 was obtained with an associated p-value of .026595. With an alpha of .05, there was a significant overall difference in the average number of hours worked per week by plant. A cursory glance at the plant averages revealed that workers at plant 3 averaged 61.47 hours per week (highest number) while workers at plant 4 averaged 49.20 (lowest number).

11.27 = .05. There were five plants and ten pairwise comparisons. The MINITAB output reveals that the only significant pairwise difference is between plant 2 and plant 3 where the reported confidence interval (0.180 to 22.460) contains the same sign throughout indicating that 0 is not in the interval. Since zero is not in the interval, then we are 95% confident that there is a pairwise difference significantly different from zero. The lower and upper values for all other confidence intervals have different signs indicating that zero is included in the interval. This indicates that the difference in the means for these pairs might be zero.

11.34 This is a randomized block design with 3 treatments (machines) and 5 block levels (operators). The F for treatments is 6.72 with a p-value of .019. There is a significant difference in machines at = .05. The F for blocking effects is 0.22 with a p-value of .807. There are no significant blocking effects. The blocking effects reduced the power of the treatment effects since the blocking effects were not significant.
11.35 The p value for Phone Type, .00018, indicates that there is an overall significant difference in treatment means at alpha .001. The lengths of calls differ according to type of telephone used. The p-value for managers, .00028, indicates that there is an overall difference in block means at alpha .001. The lengths of calls differ according to Manager. The significant blocking effects have improved the power of the F test for treatments.

Because there is significant interaction, the analysis of main effects is confounded. The graph of means displays the crossing patterns of the line segments indicating the presence of interaction.
11.45 The null hypotheses are that there are no interaction effects, that there are no significantno significant differences in the means of the valve openings by machine, and that there are no significant differences in the means of the valve openings by shift. Since the p-value for interaction effects is .876, there are no significant interaction effects and that is good since significant interaction effects would confound that study. The p-value for columns (shifts) is .008 indicating that column effects are significant at alpha of .01. There is a significant difference in the mean valve opening according to shift. No multiple comparisons are given in the output. However, an examination of the shift means indicates that the mean valve opening on shift one was the largest at 6.47 followed by shift three with 6.3 and shift two with 6.25. The p-value for rows (machines) is .937 and that is not significant.

None of the pairs of means are significantly different using Tukey's HSD = 8.757. This may be due in part to the fact that we compared means by folding the blocking effects back into error and the blocking effects were highly significant.

Critical F.05,4,30 = 2.69 for treatment 1. For treatment 1, the observed F = 1.98 < F.05,4,30 = 2.69 and the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. Critical F.05,1,30 = 4.17 for treatment 2. For treatment 2 observed F = 3.44 < F.05,1,30 = 4.17 and the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. Critical F.05,4,30 = 2.69 for interaction. For interaction, the observed F = 4.99 > F.05,4,30 = 2.69 and the decision is to reject the null hypothesis. Since there are significant interaction effects, examination of the main effects should not be done in the usual manner. However, in this case, there are no significant treatment effects anyway.

11.62 This is a one-way ANOVA with four treatment levels. There are 36 observations in the study. The p-value of .045 indicates that there is a significant overall difference in the means at = .05. An examination of the mean analysis shows that the sample sizes are different with sizes of 8, 7, 11, and 10, respectively. No multiple comparison technique was used here to conduct pairwise comparisons. However, a study of sample means shows that the two most extreme means are from levels one and four. These two means would be the most likely candidates for multiple comparison tests. Note that the confidence intervals for means one and four (shown in the graphical output) are seemingly non-overlapping indicating a potentially significant difference.
11.63 Excel reports that this is a two-factor design without replication indicating that this is a random block design. Neither the row nor the column p-values are less than .05 indicating that there are no significant treatment or blocking effects in this study. Also displayed in the output to underscore this conclusion are the observed and critical F values for both treatments and blocking. In both cases, the observed value is less than the critical value.
11.64 This is a two-way ANOVA with 5 rows and 2 columns. There are 2 observations per cell. For rows, FR = 0.98 with a p-value of .461 which is not significant. For columns, FC = 2.67 with a p-value of .134 which is not significant. For interaction, FI = 4.65 with a p-value of .022 which is significant at = .05. Thus, there are significant interaction effects and the row and column effects are confounded. An examination of the interaction plot reveals that most of the lines cross verifying the finding of significant interaction.
11.65 This is a two-way ANOVA with 4 rows and 3 columns. There are 3 observations per cell. FR = 4.30 with a p-value of .014 is significant at = .05. The null hypothesis is rejected for rows. FC = 0.53 with a p-value of .594 is not significant. We fail to reject the null hypothesis for columns. FI = 0.99 with a p-value of .453 for interaction is not significant. We fail to reject the null hypothesis for interaction effects.

11.66 This was a random block design with 5 treatment levels and 5 blocking levels. For both treatment and blocking effects, the critical value is F.05,4,16 = 3.01. The observed F value for treatment effects is MSC / MSE = 35.98 / 7.36 = 4.89 which is greater than the critical value. The null hypothesis for treatments is rejected, and we conclude that there is a significant different in treatment means. No multiple comparisons have been computed in the output. The observed F value for blocking effects is MSR / MSE = 10.36 /7.36 = 1.41 which is less than the critical value. There are no significant blocking effects. Using random block design on this experiment might have cost a loss of power.
11.67 This one-way ANOVA has 4 treatment levels and 24 observations. The F = 3.51 yields a p-value of .034 indicating significance at = .05. Since the sample sizes are equal, Tukeys HSD is used to make multiple comparisons. The computer output shows that means 1 and 3 are the only pairs that are significantly different (same signs in confidence interval). Observe on the graph that the confidence intervals for means 1 and 3 barely overlap.
