Assignment5:

An experiment was conducted involving 3 different advertising media, each used for 5 fast
food restaurants of a certain franchise. The 15 restaurants were located in different but
comparable cities, and they were randomly assigned to the 3 advertising media: radio,
newspaper, television. All advertising took place during the same time period. Profits y in
thousands of dollars were recorded for the same time period. Although all restaurants were
of the same size, they employed different numbers of workers. Since additional employees
may affect profits, the number of employees was used as a concomitant variable x.

know the average difference in sales of these showrooms. It also wants to know the average
sales difference between salesmen. For ascertaining the productivity of different salesmen,
