Random samples of 100 persons awaiting trial on felony charges were selected from rural, urban, and suburban

Question:

Random samples of 100 persons awaiting trial on felony charges were selected from rural, urban, and suburban court locations in each of two states, one (state 1) in the Northeast and the other (state 2) in the South. The following table summarizes the data on the time Y (in months) between arrest and beginning of trial for these random samples.

c. Define an appropriate regression model for this two-way ANOVA.
d. How might one revise the model in part (c) and the associated ANOVA table in order to investigate whether a linear trend exists between waiting time and degree of urbanization (as determined by treating the categories rural, suburban, and urban on an ordinal scale)? What difficulty does one encounter when considering such a model?
