EXERCISE 18 Understanding Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Analyses 1. Mayland et al. (2014) do not provide the degrees of freedom (df) in their study. Use the degrees of freedom formulas provided at the beginning of this exercise to calculate the group df and the error df. The error df is 252. Group df 3-1=2 2. What is the F value and p value for spiritual need—patient? What do these results mean? F=22.6 p<0.0001 In a study where a=0.05 , any results where the p<0.0001 is statistically significant. 3. What is the post hoc result for facilities for the hospital with LCP vs. the hospital without LCP (see Table 2)? Is this result statistically significant? In your opinion is this an expected finding? Post hoc result is 0.85 The result is not significantly significant. I personally was not expecting this but as long as the facility was clean and that the patients were well taken care of, the outward appearance of the facility is not as important as quality patient care.
