An industrial psychologist is investigating the effects of work environment on employee attitudes.  A group of 20 recently hired sales trainees were randomly assigned to one of 4 different “home rooms” with 5 trainees per room.  Each room was identical except for the color of the walls.  The 4 colors used were light green, light blue, gray, and red.  Therefore, in this experiment the 4 treatments were the 4 room colors.  The psychologist wants to compare the mean attitudes of the trainees assigned to the 4 rooms with different colors.  At the end of the training program, the attitude of each trainee was measured on a 60 point scale (the lower the score, the poorer the attitude).  The data were subjected to an analysis of variance.  The partially completed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) table was as follows: Source           df       SS              MS              F     Total                       1,829.75 Treatments             1,678.15 Error                          151.60                                      What are the total degrees of freedom, treatment degrees of freedom, and error degrees of freedom?

A survey was conducted to determine how people rate the quality of programming available on TV.  Twenty-one respondents were asked to rate the overall quality from 0 (no quality at all) to 100 (extremely good quality). The stem-and-leaf display based on these data (using the first digit as the stem and the second digit as the leaf) is shown below: Stem                       Leaves                                     3               2     5 4               0     3     4     7     8     9 5               1     1     2     3     4     5 6               1     2     5     6     7 7               7     8 Based on the stem-and-leaf display, the lower quartile for these TV ratings is __________.

On a particular ranch weaning weights of calves are normally distributed with a mean of 430 lb and a standard deviation of 20 lb.  Find the probability that a randomly selected calf will weigh less than 415 lb.

Find the probability of an observation lying more than z = 2.17 standard deviations above the mean.

The weaning weights (in kilograms) of a sample of 6 lambs born and raised on Farmer Jones’ farm are as follows: Lamb Weight 1 30 2 32 3 28 4 42 5 40 6 44 Find the standard deviation of the weaning weights of this sample of 6 lambs.

Scores on a statistics exam indicate that the 25th percentile was a 70 (out of 100 points possible), the 50th percentile was a 79, and the 75th percentile was an 88.  Use this information to construct a box plot for the exam scores.  Specify the values of the inner and outer fences.

A random sample of sale prices of homes in Columbus, Ohio yielded the following summary information:      Median = $125,000     Lower quartile = $82,000     Upper quartile = $168,000      Lowest price = $46,000     Highest price = $276,000 Construct a box plot for these data.  Based on this box plot, is the lowest selling price of $46,000 a suspect or highly suspect outlier?

A severe drought has affected several western states in recent years.  A Christmas tree farmer is worried about the drought’s effect on the size of his trees.  To determine whether the growth of his trees has been reduced by the drought, the farmer decides to take a sample of the heights of 6 trees and obtains the following results (recorded in inches): Tree Height 1 60 2 57 3 62 4 69 5 46 6 54 Find the standard deviation of the heights of this sample of 6 trees.

A Box Plot has the following values: lower outer fence = 168 lower inner fence = 196.5 lower quartile = 225 upper quartile = 244 upper inner fence = 272.5 upper outer fence = 301 Assume that four animals weigh 205, 250, 280, and 310 lb. Which of these weights are highly suspect outliers?
