One-way ANOVA

 

1.      A researcher conducts an experiment comparing four treatment conditions with a separate sample of n=5 in each treatment.  An ANOVA is used to evaluate the data, and the results of the ANOVA are presented in the table below.  Complete all missing values in the table.

3.      A researcher uses an analysis of variance to test for mean differences among three treatment conditions using a sample n=10 subjects in each treatment.  The F-ratio from this analysis would have

 

a.    df = 29

b.    df = 2, 29

c.     df = 3, 27

d.    df = 2, 27

 

 

 

4.      In general, the largest F-ratio will be obtained when the differences between sample means are __________ and the magnitudes of the sample variances are __________.

 

a.    small, small

b.    small, large

c.     large, small

d.    large, large

 

 

 

5.      A research study compares three treatment conditions using a sample of n=5 in each treatment.  For this study, the three sample totals are T1=5, T2=10, and T3=15.  What value would be obtained for SS Between?

 

a.    1

b.    5

c.     10

d.    15

 

 

6.      The purpose for post hoc tests is

 

a.    to determine whether or not a Type I error was committed

b.    to determine how much difference exists between the treatments

c.     to determine which treatments are significantly different

d.    none of the above

3.      For an experiment involving three levels of factor A and 4 levels of factor B with a sample of n = 5 in each treatment condition, what is the value for df within?

 

a.    12

b.    24

c.     48

d.    60

 

 

4.      The results from a two-factor ANOVA show a significant main effect for factor A and a significant main effect for factor B.  Based on this information, you can conclude that

 

a.    There must be a significant interaction.

b.    The interaction cannot significant

c.     You cannot make any conclusion about the significance of the interaction.

 

 

5.      The following data represent the means for each treatment condition in a two factor experiment.  Note that one mean is not given.  What value for the missing mean would result in no main effect for factor A?

6.      A two-factor research study is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a new blood pressure medication.  In this two-factor study, factor A is medication versus no medication and factor B is male versus female.  The medicine is expected to reduce blood pressure for both males and females, but it is expected to have a much greater effect for males.  This expectation should result in

 

a.    a significant main effect for medication.

b.    a significant main effect for gender.

c.     a significant interaction.

d.    all of the above.
