Under what circumstances would you use a randomized complete block analysis of variance design instead of a one-way analysis of variance?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A recent article in The Wall Street Journal entitled As Identity Theft Moves Online, Crime Rings Mimic Big Business states that 39 of the consumer scam complaints by American consumers are about identity theft.
 
  Suppose a random sample of 90 complaints is obtained. Of these complaints, 40 were regarding identity theft. Based on these sample data, what conclusion should be reached about the statement made in The Wall Street Journal? (Test using = 0.10.)A) Since z = 1.947 > 1.645, we reject the null hypothesis.
  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the 0.39 rate quoted in the WSJ article is wrong.
  B) Since z = 2.033 > 1.96, we reject the null hypothesis.
  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the 0.39 rate quoted in the WSJ article is wrong.
  C) Since z = 1.341 < 1.645, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
  There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the 0.39 rate quoted in the WSJ article is wrong.
  D) Since z = 0.97 < 1.645, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
  There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the 0.39 rate quoted in the WSJ article is wrong.

Answer to Question 1

Analysis of variance is a statistical tool that is used in cases where we are interested in testing whether three or more populations have the same mean. One-way analysis of variance is used when the samples from the populations are independent and we are not interested in controlling for a second factor that might adversely influence the analysis. With one-way, we test only whether the population means are all equal. However, there are cases in which we will be interested in controlling for a second factor that could have an adverse influence on our results. In these cases, we will want to use the concept of paired samples. The second factor (called the blocking factor) can have multiple levels. In the randomized complete block design (without replication), one observation is obtained for each combination of the two-factors. There are actually two hypotheses tests of interest: the primary test to see whether the populations of interest have different means, and the secondary test to determine whether we were justified in blocking. If the hypothesis test for blocking shows that we're justified in controlling for the second factor, then we look to the primary hypothesis test. If blocking is not determined to be effective, this means that we could (should) have selected independent samples. There is a cost in terms of lost degrees of freedom and it becomes more likely that we will not reject the primary hypothesis. It may be necessary to re-do the experiment as a one-way design if blocking is deemed not effective and the primary null hypothesis is not rejected.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
