1). As the excel output below shows, the p-value that is significant at an alpha of 0.

05 is the
value for temperature

If a researcher was working with the hypothesis that

H0: supplier, temperature or interaction means are all equal.

Ha: At least one mean of the supplier, temperature or interaction sources is different from the
others.

A researcher could come to the conclusion that there are significant differences in the
knife-gate valve temperature since the p-value is low enough to be significant at the
aforementioned alpha

2). The independent variable is country and it has 4 classifications: Canada, Colombia, Taiwan
and the United States; the dependent variable is cost of seal replacement. At first, I conducted a
two-way anova but when the results did not make sense I read the question again and decided
on a one-way anova The output,below, with an alpha of 0.05 and an f value of 32.68 indicates
there is a significant difference in the cost of replacing the seals between the different countries.

H0: the means are all equal.

Ha: At least one mean is different from the others.

The country with the highest mean seal replacement cost is Colombia and based on that
information, it might be advisable for the marketers to consider this market.

3). SInce there is one group and it is a randomized block design with the independent variable
being type of valve, and day of the week being the blocking variable, therefore it seems like a
two way anova without replication is useful.

H0: The means of the type of valves are all equal.

Ha: At least one mean of the is different from the others.
