   1. complete the two-way ANOVA table
   2. Know the three null and alternative hypotheses being tested with the table
   3. Give a conclusion based on results from the table.

Notes

• You will definitely want a calculator.
• You will not need Minitab. The computers will be off during the exam.
• You will be supplied a chi-squared table to use during the exam.
• Each problem is worth a lot of points, but most of them have been designed so that you can continue even if you can't completely get the first part right.
• You may create a sheet of notes to use for this test. Details about what can be on the notesheet follow.

Notesheet

You may use a sheet of notes on this exam. Here are the guidelines for the notesheet.

• You may use the front and back of up to an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper. You may use a smaller sized paper if you desire.
• The notesheet must be handwritten and an original (not duplicate) document.
• You may not photocopy, scan, fax, or otherwise duplicate someone else's notesheet. it is okay if you want to get together, study, and create a notesheet, but each person's notesheet must be an original, handwritten document.
• If I can not tell that your notesheet is an original document, I will not allow it. Consider using pencil or colored pens for portions of the notesheet.
• The notesheet must have your name on it. I will collect the notesheets with the exams. You will get them back with the graded test.
• The notesheet may not have examples on it.
• The notesheet may have notes, explanations, ANOVA tables with an explanation of how to find specific entries, but it may not contain examples with specific numeric values. For example, "the total df is one less than the sample size" is okay, but "if n = 20, then total df = 20 - 1 = 19" is not. You may have "SS / df = MS," but not "SS(Regression) = 351, df(Regression) = 3, MS(Regession) = 351 / 3 = 117"
