Question

The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke in 1985. Within three months of this introduction, negative consumer reaction forced Coca-Cola to reintroduce the original formula of Coke as Coca-Cola Classic. Suppose that two years later, in 1987, a marketing research firm in Chicago compared the sales of Coca-Cola Classic, New Coke, and Pepsi in public building vending machines. To do this, the marketing research firm randomly selected 10 public buildings in Chicago having both a Coke machine (selling Coke Classic and New Coke) and a Pepsi machine.

The Coca-Cola Data and a MINITAB Output of a Randomized Block ANOVA of the Data:

Two-way ANOVA: Cans versus Drink, Building

(a-1) Calculate the value of the test statistic and p-value. (Round "test statistic" value to 2 decimal places and "p-value" to 4 decimal places.)

  

(a-2) At the 0.05 significance level, what is the conclusion?

(b) What is the Tukey simultaneous 95 percent confidence interval for the following? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Building 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Coke Classic 52 133 124 54 136 34 61 229 124 77 New Coke 6 111 49 49 35 21 37 151 54 152 Pepsi 28 80 102 44 47 42 70 123 74 99

Explanation / Answer

a)

a2)

p-value < 0.05

hence

Reject H0
