ANOVA in Engineering Data Analysis

The document provides three analysis of variance problems involving: 1) nitrogen loss from boys on different protein diets, 2) species counts from different sampling procedures, and 3) pressure in a torsion spring at different angles. The problems instruct the reader to perform an analysis of variance and state conclusions about differences in means for each problem.

Analysis of Variance Examinations

07

INSTRUCTION: Perform Analysis of Variance to the following problems. Use 0.05 level of significance.
1. The study Loss of Nitrogen Through Sweat by Preadolescent Boys Consuming Three Levels of Dietary
Protein was conducted by the Department of Human Nutrition and Foods at Virginia Tech to determine
perspiration nitrogen loss at various dietary protein levels. Twelve preadolescent boys ranging in age from
7 years, 8 months to 9 years, 8 months, all judged to be clinically healthy, were used in the experiment.
Each boy was subjected to one of three controlled diets in which 29, 54, or 84 grams of protein were
consumed per day. The following data represent the body perspiration nitrogen loss, in milligrams, during
the last two days of the experimental period:
Protein Level
25 grams 54 grams 84 grams
190 318 390
266 295 321
270 271 396
438 399
402

Perform an analysis of variance to show that the mean perspiration nitrogen losses at the three protein levels
are different.

2. In the study An Evaluation of the Removal Method for Estimating Benthic Populations and Diversity
conducted by Virginia Tech on the Jackson River, 5 different sampling procedures were used to determine
the species counts. Twenty samples were selected at random, and each of the 5 sampling procedures was
repeated 4 times. The species counts were recorded as follows:
Sampling Procedure
Substrate
Modified
Depletion Surber Removal Kicknet
Hess
Kicknet
85 75 31 43 17
55 45 20 21 10
40 35 9 15 8
77 67 37 27 15

Is there a significant difference in the average species counts for the different sampling procedures?

3. The following data are values of pressure (psi) in a torsion spring for several settings of the angle between
the legs of the spring in a free position:

Angle (°)
67 71 75 79 83
83 84 86 87 89 90
85 85 87 87 90 92
85 88 88 90
86 88 88 91
86 88 89
87 90

Compute a one-way analysis of variance for this experiment and state your conclusion concerning the effect
of angle on the pressure in the spring. (From C. R. Hicks, Fundamental Concepts in the Design of
Experiments, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, 1973.)
