(16 pts.) 4. Breitling sells men’s gold, silver, and titanium watchbands. A random sample of each type was obtained (in similar styles), and the weight of each watchband (in grams) was recorded. The following table provides the summary data.
Metal Gold Silver Titanium
n 8 8 8
x̄ 8.16 7.97 6.05
s 0.840 1.037 1.165
(1 pt.) a) Is the constant standard deviation assumption valid in this case? Please explain your
answer. (4 pts.) b) Fill in the following ANOVA table given the information below. Remember work is
required for each box in the table.
Source of Variation
Degrees of freedom
Sum of squares
Mean square F
Factor 10.9 Error 21.99
Total (5 pts.) c) Assuming that the populations are normal, is there any evidence to suggest that the
average weight of at least two of watchband types are different? Use = 0.01. Perform the complete 4-step summary. Be sure to include the two degrees of freedom necessary to calculate the p-value. You may use the numbers calculated above in part b), without reshowing your work.
(4 pts.) d) Construct the Tukey 99% confidence intervals to isolate the pairs of means contributing to the overall difference. For each pair indicate whether the two means are different or not.
(1 pt.) e) Draw a diagram to represent the results of the multiple comparison procedure in part d).
(1 pt.) f) If you are trying to find the heaviest of the watchbands, which metal(s) should you use? Explain your answer.
Section 11.1: There are no problems that have you generate the ANOVA table from the
summations and use that to conduct the ANOVA hypothesis test, the problems also have you calculate the sums. However, the ANOVA tables are in the back of the book.
Additional Problems: 11.15, 11.17, 11.21 Section 11.2: The only odd problem that uses the Tukey method doesn’t provide the MSE of
sample sizes in the problem, therefore the Additional Problems use the Bonferroni method. Additional Problems: 11.49, 11.53
