A manufacturer of television sets is interested in the effect on tube conductivity of four different types of coating for color picture tubes. A completely randomized experiment is conducted, and the following conductivity data are obtained:

a) Is there a difference in conductivity due to a coating type? Use α= 0.05.
b) Estimate the overall mean and the treatment effects.
c) Calculate a confidence interval with 95% for the average coating type 4 and calculate the confidence interval with 99% for the difference between the average coating types 1 and 4.
d) Test all pairs of means using the Fisher LSD method with α= 0.05.
e) Use the graphical method discussed in section 3-5.3 to compare the means. What is the type of coating which produces the highest conductivity?
f) Assuming that coating type 4 is currently being used, what would you recommend to manufacturer? It wants to minimize conductivity.
g) Analyze the residuals and draw conclusions about the adequacy of the model.
SOLUTION:
(c)SE=sqrt(MS error/r)=sqrt(88.27/4)=4.7
95% confidence interval type 4=136.25t(0.05,12)*SE=136.252.18*4.7==136.2510.24=(126.01,146.49)
(F)99% confidence interval for difference of type 1 and type 4=(139.5-136.25)t(0.01,12)*sqrt(2*MSE/r)
=3.253.05*sqrt(2*88.27/4)=3.2520.3=(-16.95,23.55)
