Question

To check pain-relieving medications for potential side effects on blood pressure, it is decided to give equal doses of each of four medications to test subjects. To control for the potential effect of weight, subjects are classified by weight groups. Subjects are approximately the same age and are in general good health. Two subjects in each category are chosen at random from a large group of male prison volunteers. Subjects’ blood pressures 15 minutes after the dose are shown below. Research question: Is mean blood pressure affected by body weight and/or by medication type?

  Systolic Blood Pressure of Subjects (mmHg)


Fill in the missing data. (Round your table of means values to 1 decimal place, SS and F values to 2 decimal places, MS values to 3 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)

Factor 2 (Medication)

Perform Tukey multiple comparison tests. (Input the mean values within the input boxes of first row and input boxes of the first column. Round your t-values and critical values to 2 decimal places and other answers to 1 decimal place.)

Tukey simultaneous comparison t-values (d.f. = 12)
