Problem 28:
Correct answer/s:
(a) Stat)-----Basic ----Statistics----2 Variances is the Minitab pull-down to perform the test.

populations.
Problem 30:
Correct answer/s:
(b) There is more variability among the day shift than the night shift.
Problem 31:
Correct answer/s:
Correct answer/s:
(b) The purpose of blocking is to reduce the variation caused by differences between
experimental units.
(c) In a block design, the total variation is partitioned into block variation, treatment variation,
and error variation.
Problem 33:
Correct answer/s:
Problem 34:
Correct answer/s:

(b) The column variances are the variances for the displays.
(c) The F critical value for rows is the point on the F-distribution curve having 4 and 8 degrees of
freedom where there is only 5% of the area beyond it.
Problem 35:
Correct answer/s:
(c) The sum of ranks for display 2 is 5 because display 2 is last in sales at each of the 5
supermarkets.
