Chapter 9 Solution

The document contains solutions to several exercises involving analysis of variance (ANOVA). It includes: 1) An ANOVA table comparing treatment means from an experiment with a completely randomized design and five treatment groups. 2) Hypotheses for comparing mean contamination discount percentages across seven states. 3) An explanation of why a randomized block design is appropriate for comparing competence levels before and after a training at three time points, with individuals as blocks. 4) Interpretation of a partial factorial ANOVA table involving two factors and their interaction.

Exercise 9.21
The data in the next table resulted from an experiment that used a completely randomized design.

Treatment 1 Treatment 2 Treatment 3

3.8 5.4 1.3

1.2 2.0 0.7

4.1 4.8 2.2

5.5 3.8

2.3

(a) Use statistical software (or the appropriate calculation formulas in Appendix C) to complete
the following ANOVA table :

(b) Test the null hypothesis that µ1 = µ2 = µ3 , where µi represents the true mean for treatment
i, against the alternative that at least two of the means differ. Use α = 0.01.

Exercise 9.27
Contingent valuation of homes in contaminated areas. Contingent valuation (CV) is a method
of estimating property values that uses survey responses from potential homeowners. CV surveys
were employed to determine the impact of contamination on property values in the Journal of Real
Estate Research (Vol. 27, 2005). Homeowners were randomly selected from each of seven states
—Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, Illinois, South Carolina, and Texas. Each homeowner
was asked to estimate the property value of a home located in an area contaminated by petroleum
leaking from underground storage tanks (LUST). The dependent variable of interest was the LUST
discount percentage (i.e., the difference between the current home value and estimated LUST value,
as a percentage). The researchers were interested in comparing the mean LUST discount percent­
ages across the seven states.
(a) Give the null and alternative hypotheses of interest to the researchers.
(b) An ANOVA summary table is shown below. Use the information provided to conduct the
hypothesis test, part (a). Use α = 0.1.

Exercise 9.55
Peer mentor training at a firm. Peer mentoring occurs when a more experienced employee pro­
vides one­on­one support and knowledge sharing with a less experienced employee. The Journal
of Managerial Issues (Spring 2008) published a study of the impact of peer mentor training at a
large software company. Participants were 222 employees who volunteered to attend a 1­day peer
mentor training session. One variable of interest was the employee’s level of competence in peer
mentoring (measured on a 7­point scale). The competence level of each trainee was measured at
three different times in the study : 1 week before training, 2 days after training, and 2 months after
training. One goal of the experiment was to compare the mean competence levels of the three time
periods.
(a) Explain why these data should be analyzed using a randomized block design. As part of your
answer, identify the blocks and the treatments.
(b) A partial ANOVA table for the experiment is shown below. Explain why there is enough
information in the table to make conclusions.
