Wronskian The Wronskian of two differentiable functions f and g, denoted by W (f, g), is defined as the function given

 

The function f and g are linearly independent when there exists at least one value of x for which . In exercise 71-74, use the Wronskian to verify that the two functions are linearly independent.

APLIA STATISTICS 

The results of the study are presented in the following data table. All scores are times necessary to complete the paper folding-task, recorded in seconds.

The three treatments in the experiment define three populations of interest. You use an ANOVA to test the hypothesis that the three population means are equal. Present the results of your analysis in the following ANOVA table by entering the missing df values df and selecting the correct values for the missing SS, MS and  F entries. (Note: For best results, retain at least two additional points throughout your calculations. Depending on the order in which  you do these calculations and the number of digits you retain, you may find slight rounding differences in the last digit between your answers and the answer choices"

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):

  1. 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)

  2. 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:

  1. What is the dependent variable? (0.5 marks)

  2. What are the independent variables (factors)? (0.5 marks)

  3. What is the research question(s) being addressed? (1 mark)

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

    (1 mark)

  5. What assumptions are being tested in the R output? Are these assumptions met? Please

    provide statistical evidence. (2 marks)

  6. What effects are being tested in the R output? (1 mark)

  7. What does output from the ANOVA table tell us? (1 mark)

  8. What type of follow-up analyses was conducted and why? Please interpret. (2 marks)
