7. A large department store examined a sample of the 18 credit card sales and recorded the amounts charged for each of three types of credit cards: MasterCard, Visa and Discover. Six MasterCard sales, seven Visa and five Discover sales were recorded. The store used ANOVA to test if the mean sales for each credit card were equal. What are the degrees of freedom for the F statistic?
8. A bottle cap manufacture with four machines and three operators wants to see if variation in hourly production is due to the machines and/or the operators or an interaction effect of machine and operator. Each operator is assigned to each machine and the production of caps from 3 randomly selected hours is recorded. The analysis shows the following Analysis of Variance table.
Answer these questions.

What is the critical value of F for the machine effect at the 1% level of significance?
What is the mean square for machines, operators, interaction and error?
What is the computed value of F for the machines?
What is the computed value of F for the operators?
Using a 1% significance level, what is the decision for the machines?
9. A preliminary study of hourly wages paid to unskilled employees in three metropolitan areas was conducted. Seven employees were included from Area A, 9 from Area B and 12 from Area C. The test statistic was computed to be 4.91. What can we conclude at the 0.05 level?
A) Mean hourly wages of unskilled employees all areas are equal
B) Mean hourly wages in at least 2 metropolitan areas are different
C) More degrees of freedom are needed
D) None of these is correct
10. An electronics company wants to compare the quality of their cell phones to the cell phones from three competitors.

A) the number of cell phones sampled.
B) the average number of defects.
C) The total number of phones
D) The four companies.
11. Recently, students in a marketing research class were interested in the driving behavior of students. Specifically, the marketing students were interested if exceeding the speed limit was related to social activity. They collected the following responses from 100 randomly selected students:

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

C) 50
D) 4.94
Based on the analysis, what can be concluded?
A) driving behavior and gender are correlated.
B) driving behavior and gender are not related.
C) driving behavior and gender are related.
D) No conclusion is possible.
