Document Summary

T test shared 1 thing in common - involved comparison of means between 2 groups. Anova best thought of as an extension of t tests. Like t tests, anova starts by comparing differences in means between groups. Anova= grouping variable has more than 2 categories. Spread of the data around the mean for each groups. Based on these 2 estimates of variability, you can draw conclusions about the population means. Spread of data around the mean are roughly the same. Are those difference in group means, are they real differences? ation. Null hypothesis: the population means for all groups is the same. There are no differences between group means scores on the dependent variable. Note: the alternative hypothesis does not state which group differences are significant. Called one-way because it utilizes 1 grouping variable. Variable used to form groups is often referred to a factor. Researchers want to determine which of the 3 treatment programs is best at reducing recidivism.

QUESTION 1What is the purpose of post hoc tests? Under what circumstances are post hoc tests not needed or appropriate?

a. Under what circumstances is ANOVA a more appropriate statistical technique to use than a t test for independent samples? Please provide an example(s) to support your answer. (2 marks)

b. (2 marks)

c. In testing the difference between group means, how are between group and within group variability related to each other? Provide an example to support your answer. (2 marks)

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)
What does the descriptive statistics (graphical) tell us about the effects under study?

(1 mark)
What assumptions are being tested in the R output? Are these assumptions met? Please

provide statistical evidence. (2 marks)
What effects are being tested in the R output? (1 mark)
What does output from the ANOVA table tell us? (1 mark)
What type of follow-up analyses was conducted and why? Please interpret. (2 marks)
