Chapter 9: Q64E (page 579)

Suppose you conduct a 4 * 3 factorial experiment.

a. How many factors are used in the experiment?

b. Can you determine the factor type(s)—qualitative or quantitative—from the information given? Explain.

c. Can you determine the number of levels used for each factor? Explain.

d. Describe a treatment for this experiment and determine the number of treatments used.

e. What problem is caused by using a single replicate of this experiment? How is the problem solved?

Short Answer

Expert verified

e. The problem with this experiment's single replicate is the degrees of freedom for the error results in zero.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

There are twelve treatment combinations used in the experiment.

02

Concept

The degrees of freedom for error with r replicate for a, and b factor levels are ab(r-1).

03

Determining the factor levels

e.

When a single replicate is used in the experiment, the error degrees of freedom become zero.

This problem is overcome by using the high order interaction pooling to estimate the error. Also, the normal probability plot for the error is used.

Use Tables V, VI, VII, and VIII in Appendix D to find each

of the following F-values:

a. F0.05,v1=4,v2=4

b. F0.01,v1=4,v2=4

d. F0.025,v1=15,v2=12

Value perceptions of consumers (cont’d). Refer to Exercise 9.10. In addition to the factor, Type of advertisement

(within-store price promotion and between-store price promotion), the researchers also investigated the impact of a second factor—Location where ad is read (at home or in the store). About half of the consumers who

were assigned to the within-store price promotion read the ad at home, and the other half read the ad in the store. Similarly, about half of the consumers who were assigned to the between-store price promotion read the ad at home, and the other half read the ad in the store. In this second

experiment, the goal was to compare the average discount values of the groups of consumers created by combining Type of advertisement with Location.

a. How many treatments are involved in this experiment?

b. Identify the treatments.

Define a comparison-wise error rate.

Corporate sustainability and firm characteristics. Refer to the Business and Society (March 2011) study on how firm size and firm type impact corporate sustainability behaviors, Exercise 1.28 (p. 51). Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) were surveyed on their firms’ likelihood of reporting sustainability policies (measured as a probability between 0 and 1). The CPAs were divided into four groups depending on firm size (large or small) and firm type (public or private): large/public, large/private, small/ public, and small/private. One goal of the analysis was to determine whether the mean likelihood of reporting sustainability policies differs depending on firm size and firm type. Identify each of the following elements for this study:

a. Experimental units

b. Response variable

c. Factor(s)

d. Factor levels

e. Treatments

Drafting NFL quarterbacks. Refer to the Journal of Productivity Analysis (Vol. 35, 2011) study of how successful NFL teams are in drafting productive quarterbacks, Exercise 1.26 (p. 51). Recall that the researchers measured two variables for each of the 331 quarterbacks drafted between

1970 and 2007: (1) Draft position (Top 10, between picks 11 and 50, or after pick 50) and (2) QB production score (where higher scores indicate more productive QBs). Suppose we want to compare the mean production score

of quarterbacks in the three draft position groups. Identify each of the following elements for this study:

a. Response variable

b. Factor(s)

c. Treatments

d. Experimental units
