To test whether the mean time needed to mix a batch of material is the same for machines produced by three manufacturers, a chemical company obtained the following data on the time (in minutes) needed to mix the material.

Manufacturer
1 2 3
21 27 20
26 26 20
23 32 23
26 27 17

a) Use these data to test whether the population mean times for mixing a batch of material differ for the three manufacturers. Use α = 0.05.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value =

b) At the α = 0.05 level of significance, use Fisher's LSD procedure to test for the equality of the means for manufacturers 1 and 3.

Find the value of LSD. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

LSD =

Find the pairwise absolute difference between sample means for manufacturers 1 and 3.

Can someone please answer this question? thank you

You think that, in addition to cannabis use, road conditions may also affect driving abilities and contribute to an increased risk of road accidents. You suggest that further testing be made using 5 different road-condition scenarios in the virtual driving simulator. Your proposal is accepted and a new group of 60 individuals are solicited to participate in the study and are randomly assigned to one of the various treatment groups.

  1. [6 marks] Test the following hypothesis at the 1% significance level; make sure you follow all the steps for hypothesis testing indicated in the Instructions section and show your computations.
    1. Significant interaction effect between cannabis intake and road conditions;
    2. Significant main effect of the cannabis intake factor (if warranted);
    3. Significant main effect of the road conditions factor (if warranted).

Jiffy Corporation has its seen its earning increase steadily each quarter from 2004 (its founding) through 2008. Because of the recession, Jiffy has struggled to provide investors with the same level of growth. Jiffy’s CEO, COO and CFO whose wealth is significantly leveraged by Jiffy’s equity-based compensation, are trying to focus on how to keep the company on a growth climb despite the hard time. Interestingly, each quarter, Jiffy has been able to meet or beat the investor’s forecasts. Jiffy’s typical business model is to ship its products to customers on account with payments due within 30 days after delivery. Jiffy’s products are manufactured in two plants, one in Columbus, Ohio and the other in Houston, Texas. Jiffy’s inventory is stored in 20 different warehouses located in 15 states. Many of Jiffy’s smaller customers are start-up companies. Surprisingly, Jiffy has a relatively rate of uncollectible accounts relative to others in its industry. Anderson & Cooper is Jiffy’s external auditor. You are the engagement partner assigned to Jiffy’s audit. Please respond the following question: 1. What are some of the red flags for possible management fraud based on the client’s profile?

2. Identify three types of management (financial statement) fraud that might be attempted in
this situation. What red flags will you look for to identify the frauds, and how will the
frauds be attempted?
