Chapter 16: 16.9 Given the aggression scores below for Outcome A of the sleep deprivation experiment, verify that, as suggested earlier, these mean differences shouldn’t be taken seriously by testing the null hypothesis at the .05 level of significance. Use the computation formulas for the various sums of squares and summarize results with an ANOVA table.

For reasons beyond his control, unequal numbers of subjects occupy the different groups. (Therefore, when calculating in SS between and SS within , you must adjust the denominator term, n , to reflect the unequal numbers of subjects in the group totals.)
