Document Summary

Randomized block design individuals within a block are randomly assigned and compared to eachother, but not to individuals within a different block (due to a gradient across the blocks eg distance from window for plant growth) Significance level ( ) type i error rate (probability of rejecting ho when it"s actually true) A 95% confidence interval (ci) refers to a set of all values of that would not be rejected in a 2-sided test with = 0. 05. One-way anova (as shown above) tests effect of only one factor on the response variable. Two-way anova: tests effects of two factors on the response variable. Two parts of the null hypothesis (that the means for factor i will be equal, and that the means for factor. Also "interaction ho" that the effects of each factor are constant and do not depend on the other factor.

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

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)
