The numerator of the F-ratio measures the size of the sample mean differences. How is this number obtained, especially when there are more than two sample means? A. by computing the sum of the sample mean differences B. by computing the average of the sample mean differences C. by the largest of the sample mean differences D. by computing the variance for the sample means

Antwort: D. by computing the variance for the sample means

In an analysis of variance, the primary effect of large mean differences from one sample to another is to increase the value for... A. the variance between treatments B. the variance within treatments C. the total variance D. large mean differences will not directly affect any of the three variances

Antwort: A. the variance between treatments

When the null hypothesis is true for an ANOVA, what is the expected value for the F-ratio? A. 0 B. 1.00 C. much greater than 1.00 D. less than zero

Antwort: B. 1.00

An analysis of variance produces SSbetween treatments = 40 and MSbetween treatments = 10. In this analysis, how many treatment conditions are being compared? A. 4 B. 5 C. 30 D. 50

Antwort: B. 5

An analysis of variance is used to evaluate the mean differences for a research study comparing four treatment conditions with a separate sample of n = 5 in each treatment. The analysis produces SSwithin treatments = 32, SSbetween treatments = 40, and SStotal = 72. For this analysis, what is MSwithin treatments? A. 32/5 B. 32/4 C. 32/16 D. 32/20

Antwort: C. 32/16

In analysis of variance, a MS value is a measure of... A. variance B. average differences among means C. the total variability for the set of N scores D. the overall mean for the set of N scores

Antwort: A. variance

Antwort: B. 4

Under what circumstances are posttest necessary? A. reject the null hypothesis with k = 2 treatments B. reject the null hypothesis with k > 2 treatments C. fail to reject the null hypothesis with k = 2 treatments D. fail to reject the null hypothesis with k > 2 treatments

Antwort: B. reject the null hypothesis with k > 2 treatments
