PROBLEM 1 (11.46 pg. 564)
Mike is a restaurant owner and has read about the effect that music can have on the amount of time that customers stay at their tables for dinner. To test this effect, Mike makes arrangements to play slow-paced music at his establishment on a Saturday night and recorded the time customers at the randomly selected tables spent in the restaurant during five months of the year. Mike did the same on subsequent Saturday nights with fast-paced music and no music to adjust for any seasonal effects.
Data appears below:
Perform the appropriate test(s). Let a=.05. What do you conclude (in terms of the problem)

F2,8,05 = 4.459
Since >4.459, sufficient evidence to conclude not all average times are the same.
DSCI Practice Final (24 pages)

5. DSCI Practice Final (24 pages)
Since >3.838, sufficient evidence to conclude blocking factor was effective.
b. If appropriate, find which pairs of means are significantly different (a = .05)

Find absolute differences between pairs of sample means
|x1 – x2| = | | = 9.40
|x1 – x3| = | | = 3.00
|x2 – x3| = | | = 6.40
CR = Qa  MSE/b
D1 = k =3
D2 = (b-1)*(k-1) = )(5-1)*(3-1) = 4*2 = 8
Qa = 4.04
CR = 4.04 √ /5 = 8.93 , so mean times customers stay at their tables for dinner is different when no music is played relative to when slow music is played

PROBLEM 2 (11.48 pg. 565)
You have been assigned to test the hypothesis that the average number of hours worked per week by employees differs between the United States, China, and Sweden. A random sample of four employees from each country is chosen and the number of hours they worked last week is recorded.

Since F=4.946 is larger than we can reject null hypothesis. Conclude sufficient evidence to indicate not all three countries work the same average number of hours.
b. If appropriate, find which pairs of means are significantly different (a = .05)
DSCI Practice Final (24 pages)

10. DSCI Practice Final (24 pages)
Technique is same as for One Way ANOVA
Find absolute differences between pairs of sample means
|x1 – x2| = |36-30| = 6
|x1 – x3| = |36-42| = 6
|x2 – x3| = |30-42| = 12
CRij = QaMSW/2)(1/ni +1/nj)
D1 = k =3
D2 = N-k =12-3 = 9
Q.05 = 3.95
CR = 3.95 √29.111/4 = , so the average number of hours worked per week is significantly different between Sweden and China

PROBLEM 3 (14.50 pg 695)
Comcast’s customer service department asks its customers to rate their over-the phone service on a scale of 1-20 immediately after the service has been completed. The company then matches each customer ‘s ratings with the number of minutes the person waited on hold. The company would like to predict the customers’ ratings based on the number of minutes waited and uses data from 10 randomly selected customers.
Data appears below:

PROBLEM 4 Table 15.4 pg. 732
David is a street vendor who sells hot dogs in the city and would like to predict daily demand for his product in order to improve inventory control. He believes the three main variables affecting sales are his price per hot dog, the high temperature during business hours that day and whether or not the day falls on a weekend. David records the data for 12 randomly selected days, coding weekdays as 1 and weekends as 0.
