Question

{Exercise 13.43 (Algorithmic)}

A factorial experiment was designed to test for any significant differences in the time needed to perform English to foreign language translations with two computerized language translators. Because the type of language translated was also considered a significant factor, translations were made with both systems for three different languages: Spanish, French, and German. Use the following data for translation time in hours.

Test for any significant differences due to language translator system (Factor A), type of language (Factor B), and interaction. Use  = .05.

The p-value for Factor A is Selectless than .01between .01 and .025between .025 and .05between .05 and .10greater than .10

What is your conclusion with respect to Factor A?
SelectFactor A is significantFactor A is not significant

The p-value for Factor B is Selectless than .01between .01 and .025between .025 and .05between .05 and .10greater than .10

What is your conclusion with respect to Factor B?
SelectFactor B is significantFactor B is not significant

The p-value for the interaction of factors A and B is Selectless than .01between .01 and .025between .025 and .05between .05 and .10greater than .10

What is your conclusion with respect to the interaction of Factors A and B?
SelectThe interaction of factors A and B is significantThe interaction of factors A and B is not significant

Explanation / Answer

From Excel

Case1: FactorA

Since P value =0.4626 >0.05

Hence Fcator A is not significant

Case2: FactorB

Since P value =0.018 <0.05

Hence Fcator B is significant.

Case3: Interaction of A and B

Since P value =0.6297 >0.05

Hence Interaction of A and B is not significant
