Q1. In an ANOVA, we find that the p-value is 0.003.
We therefore conclude that:
A) there is no statistical evidence that any
population mean is different from any other
B) no two population means are equal
C) no two variances are equal
D) there is strong statistical evidence that not
all the population means are equal -----------------
Q2. In a recent study, a researcher discovered that performance on a
spatial memory task is related to the number of hours that participants
slept for the night before doing the task, but this effect was stronger for
participants with existing low spatial skills and much smaller for
participants with existing high spatial skills. What kind of effect is this?
a. A main effect
b. A post-hoc effect
c. An interaction ----------------
d. A mediation
Q3. Which of the following is true about conducting a two-way
ANOVA?
a. Test for an interaction effect occurs after the main effects have been
found to be statistically significant.
b. Test for main effects occurs if the interaction is found to be
statistically significant.
c. Multiple comparisons between different groups are done only if
there is a significant main effect or interaction involved. ----------
d. You should first conduct multiple comparisons in the form of t tests
on all pairs of groups, then decided whether to conduct the ANOVA
based on the pattern of statistical significance.
Q4. Overall, children did not remember more words than adults on a memory
test, F (1, 153) = 3.00, p > 0.10, and participants listening to music during the
test did not remember more words than those not listening to music, F (1, 153)
= 1.98, p > 0.10. However, listening to music significantly aided the children in
remembering the words, while it hindered the adults in remembering the
words, F (1, 153) = 12.73, p < 0.05. Which effect(s) must be present in this
study for these results to be valid?
