Question 1 (22 marks)

A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance travelled by golf
balls produced using each of four different designs. Ten balls were manufactured with each
design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test. The order in
which the balls were hit with the same club from the first tee was randomized so that the pro
did not know which type of ball was being hit. All 40 balls were hit in a short period of time,
during which the environmental conditions were essentially the same. The results (distance
travelled in yards) for the four designs were as follows:

Design 1 Design 2 Design 3 Design 4

206.32 217.08 226.77 230.55
207.94 221.43 224.79 227.95
206.19 218.04 229.75 231.84
204.45 224.13 228.51 224.87
209.65 211.82 221.44 229.49
203.81 213.90 223.85 231.10
206.75 221.28 223.97 221.53
205.68 229.43 234.30 235.45
204.49 213.54 219.50 228.35
210.86 214.51 233.00 225.09

a) Produce the ANOVA table. Show all your calculations. (12 marks)
b) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there any evidence of a difference in the mean
distance travelled by the golf balls with different designs? (2 marks)
c) Make a conclusion for (b). (1 mark)
d) If the results in (b) indicate that it is appropriate, use the Tukey-Kramer procedure to
determine which designs differ in mean distances. (7 marks)
Question 2 (8 marks)

The effects of developer strength (factor A) and development time (factor B) on the density
of photographic plate film were being studied. Two strengths and two development times
were used, and four replicates in each of the four cells were evaluated. The results (with large
being best) are in in the following table:

DEVELOPMENT TIMES (MINUTES)

DEVELOPMENT
10 14
STRENGTH
0 1
5 4
1
2 3
4 2
4 6
7 7
2
6 8
5 7

a) Produce the ANOVA table using Excel. (2 marks)

b) At the 0.05 level of significance,
a. Is there an interaction between the developer strength and development time?
(2 marks)
b. Is there an effect due to developer strength? (2 marks)
c. Is there an effect due to developer time? (2 marks)
