Lily Energy Systems manufacturer’s wood-burning heaters and fireplace inserts. One of its systems has an electric blower, which is thermostatically controlled. The blower is designed to automatically turn on when the temperature in the stove reaches 125°F and turn off at 85°F. Complaints from customers indicate that the thermostat control is not working properly. The company feels that the thermostat is acceptable if the variance in the cutoff temperature is less than or equal to 175. The company takes a sample of 24 thermostats and finds that the variance equals 289. The calculated chi-square test statistic and the table value for a 0.05 significance level are A. 37.983, 38.076. B. 37.983, 35.172. C. 38.076, 38.99. D. 35.172, 38.99. 9. Given the significance level 0.025, the F-value for the degrees of freedom, df = (7,3) is A. 5.89. B. 27.67. C. 8.45. D. 14.62. 10. The object on which the response and factors are observed is called A. treatments. B. experimental unit.C. factor level. D. factors. 11. The F-statistic in a one-way ANOVA represents the variation A. within the treatments minus the variation between the treatments. B. between the treatments divided by the variation within the treatments. C. within the treatments divided by the variation between the treatments. D. between the treatments plus the variation within the treatments. 12. In testing a population variance or constructing a confidence interval for the population variance, an essential assumption is that A. expected frequencies equal or exceed 5. B. the population is normally distributed. C. the population is uniformly distributed. D. sample size exceeds 30. 13. Which of the following statements are true regarding the simple linear regression model y i = β 0 + β 1 x i + ε i ? A. β 0 is the slope of the regression line. B. ε i is a nonrandom error. C. y i is a value of the dependent variable (y) and x i is a value of the independent variable (x). D. β 1 is the y-intercept of the regression line. 14. A left-tail area in the chi-square distribution equals 0.95. For df = 10, the table value equals A. 15.987. B. 18.307. C. 3.940. D. 20.483. 15.
