Question

A study compared three display panels used by air traffic controllers. Each display panel was tested for four different simulated emergency conditions. Twenty-four highly trained air traffic controllers were used in the study. Two controllers were randomly assigned to each display panel-emergency condition combination. The time (in seconds) required to stabilize the emergency condition was recorded. The following table gives the resulting data and the MINITAB output of a two-way ANOVA of the data.

    

   

  

Make pairwise comparisons of display panels A, B , and C by using Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence intervals. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Make pairwise comparisons of emergency conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4 by using Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence intervals. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Which display panel minimizes the time required to stabilize an emergency condition? Does your answer depend on the emergency condition? Why?

Calculate a 95 percent (individual) confidence interval for the mean time required to stabilize emergency condition 4 using display panel B. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

a)

Interpret the interaction plot in the above table. Then test for interaction with = .05.

  Panel B requires (Click to select)less time to stabilize the emergency condition.

  F(int)= .30, p-value= .923; (Click to select)cannot reject H0, no interaction exists.

(b)

Test the significance of display panel effects with = .05.

  F = 25.92, p-value = .0000; (Click to select) reject H0

(c)

Test the significance of emergency condition effects with = .05.

  F = 98.90, p-value = .0000; (Click to select)reject H0

(d)

Make pairwise comparisons of display panels A, B , and C by using Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence intervals. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
