Document Summary

Ch 14 one-way anova a test on means!!! In one-way analysis of variance (anova), the pooled-variance two-sample t-test is extended to more than two samples. test the null hypothesis that k populations all have the same mean. By comparing the variability between groups to the variability within groups. In one-way anova the test statistic is an f statistic. The assumptions of one-way anova are the same as those of the pooled-variance two-sample t-test: the samples are independent simple random samples from the populations, the populations are normally distributed, the population variances are equal. Work poorly if the variances are very different. The methods will start to break down if the largest standard deviation is more than double the smallest standard deviation. Total sum of squares where the summation is over all observations. The total sum of squares is partitioned into two components . The sums of squares for treatment and error add to the total sum of squares:

QUESTION 2

a. If a two-factor ANOVA results in a significant main effect for factor A and a significant AxB interaction, explain why you should be cautious in interpreting the effect of factor A. (1 mark)

b. For the following research situations what would be your main effects and interaction effect. If there was a significant interaction effect what would that mean? (please be as clear as possible in your explanation):

A researcher hypothesizes that the effect of alcohol consumption on one’s motor skills depends on the person’s weight (underweight, normal, overweight), but that this may differ for men versus women. (2 marks)
A teacher is interested in seeing how attending class and reading the assigned chapters is related to her students’ performance on tests. She assesses each student in terms of how often they attend class (rarely, sometimes, regularly) and how often they read the assigned chapters (rarely, sometimes, regularly). (2 marks)

QUESTION 3

Ethel is interested in two methods of note-taking strategies and the effect of these strategies on the overall GPAs of college freshmen. She believes that men would benefit most from Method 1, while women would benefit most from Method 2. After obtaining 30 men and 30 women volunteers in freshmen orientation, she randomly assigns 10 men and 10 women to Method 1, 10 men and 10 women to Method 2, and 10 men and 10 women to a control condition. During the first month of the spring semester individuals in the two note-taking method groups receive daily instruction on the particular note-taking method to which they were assigned. The control group receives no note-taking instruction. Fall and spring GPAs for all participants are recorded and a score that is the difference between the spring and fall semester GPAs is calculated.

Below are the results from running a two-way ANOVA. Please answer the following:

What is the dependent variable? (0.5 marks)
What are the independent variables (factors)? (0.5 marks)
What is the research question(s) being addressed? (1 mark)
