Concept Questions
1. False. If they disagree, there must be a mistake somewhere. They have to agree.
4. False. If every observation is multiplied by 2, both MSB and MSW double. So F-ratio stays the same.
5. False. The sample sizes can be different.
9. False. The sample sizes can be different – unbalanced ANOVA
12.
a. The null hypothesis is that all four means are equal. False, dfB=2, so there are 3 treatments, not 4.
b. The calculated value of F is 1.125. False, F=(810/2)/(720/8)=405/90=4.5.
c. The critical value for F for 5% significance is 6.60. False, the critical F=4.46.
d. The null hypothesis can be rejected at 5% significance. True, 4.5>4.46
e. The null hypothesis cannot be rejected at 1% significance. True, CV at 1% level=8.65>4.5
f. There are 10 observations in the experiment. False, there are 2+8+1=11 observations.

Exercise #7
A.
y ij =μ+ τ i+ ϵ ij

where

y ij – individual outcome

μ -overall average
τ i – effect due to treatment i,i=1,2,3

ϵ – is the random error

H0: All three means are equal

Ha: at least one is different than other

F=15.04>3.68, or p-Value<0.05, so we reject H0.

There is a treatment effect due to sleep-inducing drugs.

C.
C1: [-2, 1, 1]

C2: [0, 1, -1]

They are orthogonal because the dot product is zero: -2*0+1*1+1*(-1)=0.

D.
Contrast #1
Point estimate=5.75, SE=1.05, t=5.476, p-Value=0.000064<0.05. So C1 is significant.

Contrast #2
Point estimate=0.183, SE=0.606, t=0.302, p-Value=0.766>0.05. So C2 is not significant.

E.
At 5% level, multiple comparison shows that T2 and T3 are similar and are both significantly more than T1, so I would
recommend T2 or T3 – either is effective in improving sleeping time.
