[Question N] You have a completely randomized design of four treatments for your grocery bag manufacturing.  You want to improve the tensile strength of the bags, and your engineers think the tensile strength can be a function of the hardwood concentration in the pulp.  Higher tensile strength is better. A team of engineers is investigating four levels of hardwood in the pulp, cleverly called Levels A, B, C, and D. You’ve run the ANOVA below in Excel on data taken from a fully randomized experiment.  The numbers refer to tensile strength. What is your analysis of the results?  In particular, does the treatment make a statistically significant difference, and if so, which treatment(s) are better or worse?  If you can, list them in order from best to worst.  If you can’t, tell me why you can’t.  Test at alpha = 0.05.

This continues to use the Problem I water quality data you downloaded. What is the sampling standard deviation for the ranks?  In other words, what is σW?

Below is a screenshot of a multiple linear regression you colleague has run.  She is trying to predict the sale price of real estate, given a few factors: * the Lot Size, given in square units * Whether or not the house is in the water district or not (if not, they need their own well water) * How many minutes it is to drive downtown during rush hour * The schools rating (higher is better) She has run the following multiple linear regression output in Excel.  Write a brief essay evaluating how good this regression model is.  Use a 95% level of statistical significance (so alpha = 0.05.)  Make sure you address issues of statistical significance, outliers, and anything else.  You should answer the question:  is this model pretty good as it is, or if changes need to be made, what and why?
