Nicotine in Cigarettes
Refer to Data Set 4 in Appendix B and use the amounts of nicotine (mg per cigarette) in the king size cigarettes, the 100 mm menthol cigarettes, and the 100 mm non-menthol cigarettes. The king size cigarettes are non-filtered, non-menthol, and non-light. The 100 mm menthol cigarettes are filtered and non-light. The 100 mm non-menthol cigarettes are filtered and non-light. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three categories of cigarettes yield the same mean amount of nicotine. Given that only the king size cigarettes are not filtered, do the filters appear to make a difference?
Data Set 4: Cigarette Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide
All measurements are in milligrams per cigarette. CO denotes carbon monoxide. The king size cigarettes are non-filtered, non-menthol, and non-light. The menthol cigarettes are 100 mm long, filtered, and non-light. The cigarettes in the third group are 100 mm long, filtered, non-menthol, and non-light. Data are from the Federal Trade Commission.
