You must show your work to receive full credits. Failure to provide (calculation) steps will result

in deduction in credits.

9. (30 points)

The following partial ANOVA table was obtained from a 2-way ANOVA where three

advertisements were being compared among men and women. A total of 30 males and 30

females were sampled, and 10 of each were exposed to ads 1, 2, and 3, respectively. A

measure of attitude toward the brand was obtained for each subject. An uncompleted

ANOVA table is seen below.

Complete the ANOVA table by filling in the “?” with the appropriate values;

Part b. (6 points)

Write an ANOVA model describing this situation. What is the distribution assumption of the

error terms?

Part c. (8 points)

What are the assumptions for the ANOVA model? How do you check these assumptions?

Part d. (5 points)

Perform a hypothesis testing whether the ad effects differ among the genders (and vice versa)

(α =0.05), and state your conclusion.

10. (30 points) The adjacent data name the coal producing counties in Northeastern

Pennsylvania. It shows the number of employees working in coal production in

that county and gives the number (in thousands) of tons of bituminous coal

produced. The data are fitted by simple linear regression using R. The part of

outputs is shown below. The scatter plot for this data is also given below.

The researcher doubts if there is any relationship between the regressor and the response. So

he performs a test on the slope at a significant level 0.05. What is the appropriate hypothesis

and what test statistic should be used? And make conclusion based on the results. (α = 0.05).

Part e. (5 points)

Construct a 98% CI for the intercept.
