ANOVA Hypotheses Testing

Please provide step- by- step instruction for each of the following.

The manufacturer of batteries is designing a battery to be used in a device that will be subjected to extremes in temperature.  The company has a choice of 3 materials to use in the manufacturing process.  An experiment is designed to study the life of the battery when it is made from materials A, B, and C and is exposed to temperatures of 15,70, and 125 degrees F.  For each combination of material and temperature 4 batteries are tested. The lifetime in hours of the batteries are shown below:
               Temperatures
Material A
15°F           
130,155,74,180

70°F     
34,40,80,75

125°F
20,70,82,58


Material B   
15°F
150,188,159,126

70°F
126,122,106,115

125°F  
25,70,58,45


Material C
15°F
138,110,168,160

70°F
174,120,150,139

125°F  
96,104,82,60


a. Calculate the average life for each of the 3 materials.
b. Calculate the average life for each of the 3 temperatures.
c. Calculate the average life for each of the 9 treatment groups.
d. Plot the 9 treatment means on a graph with temperature factor on the x-axis, and the life of the battery in hours on the y-axis.  Use a different color for each of the 3 materials and connect the averages for those of the same material.  What do you speculate about the interaction effect based on the graph?
e. Confirm your suspicions by doing a two-way ANOVA and testing to see if there is a significant interaction effect.
f. What material do you recommend to this manufacturer and why?
