Question

15.15. Four different formulations of an industrial glue are being tested. The tensile strength of the glue when it is applied to join parts is also related to the application thickness. Five observations on strength (y) in pounds and thickness (x) in 0.01 inches are obtained for each formulation. The data are shown in the following table. Analyze these data and draw appropriate conclusions. Glue Formulation ox 46.5 13 48.7 12 46.3 15 44.7 16 45.9 14 49.0 10 47.1 14 43.0 15 49.8 12 50.1 11 48.9 11 51.0 10 46.1 12 48.5 12 48.2 11 48.1 12 44.3 14 45.2 14 50.3 10 48.6 11

Explanation / Answer

Output by using Minitab,

Here we use ANCOVA, to test whether treatment means i.e. effect of different types of glue are same or different. And second hypothesis is to test whether means of covariates (x's) are significantly different or not.

Procedure:

1. Enter values of x and y for each treatment (glue).

2. Stat -> ANOVA -> General linear model -> fit general linear model.

3. we get General linear model window. In that window fill following information:

Responses: y

Factors: treatment(glue)

covariates: x.

General Linear Model: Y versus X, treatment

Method

Factor coding (-1, 0, +1)

Regression Equation

treatment

1          Y = 59.65 - 1.010 X

2          Y = 60.22 - 1.010 X

3          Y = 60.48 - 1.010 X

4          Y = 60.01 - 1.010 X

Interpretation:

H0:t1=t2=t3=t4     Vs    H1:at least one of them is different

H0:X1=X2=X3=X4     Vs    H1: at least one of them is not equal

Treatment>0.05

From ANOVA we see that treatments means are not significant.here we accept null hypothesis for treatments. For treatment all the means are equal and we accept the null hypothesis.

X(Cov)<0.05 therefore we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that average of the dependent variable is not same for all the groups. Difference between means are statistically significant.

From R-sq also we see that this model is explains only 77.11% variation.
