Extra ANOVA Problems

The document outlines several experimental scenarios involving ANOVA tests to assess the effects of different treatments on mice learning, children's problem-solving skills at various ages, the impact of instruction on problem-solving, and the effectiveness of depression treatments among hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Each scenario provides data for analysis to determine significant effects of the treatments or conditions. The document includes specific data sets for each experiment, suggesting the need for statistical evaluation.

Extra Problems - ANOVA


1) A researcher is interested in determining the affect that prolonged practice
has on a mouse's ability to sustain and use information that it has
learned. He trains 18 mice on a laboratory maze. Each mouse runs the maze
twice per day for two weeks. At the end of this initial training period
the mice are randomly separated into three groups. The first group
continues to run the maze twice per day for another week. The second group
runs a brand new maze twice per day for one week. Mice from the third
group remain in their home cage for the week, running no mazes. At the end
of the week all mice are tested on their ability to complete the first
maze. Each mouse runs the maze once and its time (in seconds) is recorded
below. Determine if there are significant effects of the treatments.
Group One 10 12 18 15 16 12
Group Two 25 22 27 30 28 25

Group Three 15 17 20 21 19 18
2) Children are tested to determine their problem solving skills at three
different ages (6, 8 and 10 years old). The scores on their problem
solving tasks are given below. What conclusions can be drawn?

6 year olds 25 30 29 40 33 36 42 39
8 year olds 65 70 42 45 56 62 49 55

10 year olds 70 85 76 65 69 72 81 78

3) Following the experiment in question two, researchers begin to wonder if


instruction in problem solving could vary the results. To test this they
find ten new subjects from each age group. These ten subjects, per age,
are randomly assigned to instruction or no instruction groups. Perform a
2-way ANOVA to identify any age and/or instruction effects.

4) A group of clinical psychologists and psychiatrists is interested in the


effectiveness of drug intervention, psychotherapy and a combination of the
two for the treatment of depression. They are also concerned that their
results may be different for individuals who are hospitalized versus those
who are not. Thirty hospitalized patients are divided into three treatment
groups of equal size. Another 30 patients receiving outpatient care are
also divided into 3 equal groups. After three months all patients fill out
a questionnaire concerning their current state of depression. On the
survey, high scores indicate positive progress in lessening depression.
Below is a summary table of the experimental results. Group totals are
represented. The sum of squares within is computed to be 3550. Evaluate
the outcome using a two way ANOVA.
