A golf ball manufacturer desires to compare the distance traveled by golf balls using four unique designs. Fifteen balls were manufactured and each was brought to the local golf course for testing by the local pro. The order of the golf balls hit by the professional was randomized so the pro did not know which ball was being hit. All 60 balls were hit over a short time period to reduce any potential environmental effects.

Use the data linked above to answer the following questions:
At the 0.05 level of significance is there evidence of a difference in the mean distances traveled by the golf balls with different designs?
Do the results in question 1 indicate that it is appropriate to use the Tukey-Kramer procedure to determine which designs differ in mean distances?
If the golf ball manufacturer wished to build the golf ball with the greatest distance, which design should the firm select?
Answer:
Use the data linked above to answer the following questions:
At the 0.05 level of significance is there evidence of a difference in the mean distances traveled by the golf balls with different designs?
Calculated F= 17.073, P=0.0000 which is < 0.05 level of significance. Ho is rejected. There is enough evidence of a difference in the mean distances traveled by the golf balls with different designs.
Do the results in question 1 indicate that it is appropriate to use the Tukey-Kramer procedure to determine which designs differ in mean distances?
Design A is significant with B, C and D.
Design C is significant with D.
If the golf ball manufacturer wished to build the golf ball with the greatest distance, which design should the firm select?
Design C.

A sporting goods manufacturing company wanted to compare the distance traveled by golf balls produced using each of four different designs. Ten balls were manufactured with each design and were brought to the local golf course for the club professional to test. The order in which the balls were hit with the same club from the first tee was randomized so that the pro did not know which type of ball was being hit. All 40 balls were hit in...

1)To perform a Tukey-Cramer procedure, critical range is needed to make a decision. In this given data, how many different critical ranges do you actually need to calculate? 2)To perform a Tukey-Cramer procedure, what is the value of critical range for this data? 3)To perform a Tukey-Cramer procedure, what is absolute value mean difference between design 1 and design 4? 4)When comparing Design 1 and Design 3, is there any evidence to show significant mean difference between two designs? true...

The PGA is interested in knowing whether the difference in distance traveled by any two golf ball brands depends on the club used. The PGA tests four different brands (А.В.С.D) of golf balls and two different clubs (driver, five-iron) in a random experiment.
