Under Two Electro-Shock Conditions” (Behav.
Res. Therapy, 1967: 49–54) gives adaptation
scores for three different treatments: (1) no
shock, (2) shock following each stuttered
word, and (3) shock during each moment of
stuttering. These treatments were used on each
of 18 stutterers.

ANOVA table and test at level .05 to see
whether true average adaptation score
depends on the treatment given.
b. Judging from the F ratio for subjects (factor
B), do you think that blocking on subjects was
effective in this experiment? Explain.
42. The article “The Effects of a Pneumatic Stool
and a One-Legged Stool on Lower Limb Joint
Load and Muscular Activity During Sitting and
Rising” (Ergonomics, 1993: 519–535) gives the
accompanying data on the effort required of a
subject to arise from four different types of stools
(Borg scale). Perform an analysis of variance
using a ¼ .05, and follow this with a multiple
comparisons analysis if appropriate.

43. The strength of concrete used in commercial
construction tends to vary from one batch to
another. Consequently, small test cylinders of
concrete sampled from a batch are “cured” for
periods up to about 28 days in temperature- and
moisture-controlled environments before
strength measurements are made. Concrete is
then “bought and sold on the basis of strength
test cylinders” (ASTM C 31 Standard Test
Method for Making and Curing Concrete Test
Specimens in the Field). The accompanying
data resulted from an experiment carried out to
compare three different curing methods with
respect to compressive strength (MPa). Analyze
this data.

44. Check the normality and constant variance assump-
tions graphically for the data of Example 11.15.

cise 40 the five houses had actually been selected
at random from among those of a certain age and

any of the ANOVA sums of squares.
b. Suppose that each x

sums of squares? How does this affect the
