Explanation / Answer

We have given that row means and column means. We have to do factorial anova on this data.

Degrees of freedoms :

Dfcolumns = 2-1 = 1

Dfrows = 2-1 = 1

Dfinteraction = 4-1-1-1 = 1

Dfwithin = 20-4 = 16

Dftotal = 20-1 = 19

Also we have given that,

Critical value for F-distribution is = 4.49

MScolumns = SScolumns / dfcolumns = 20.55/1 = 20.55

MSrows = SSrows / dfrows = 17.63/1 = 17.63

MSinteraction = 38.18 / 1 = 38.18

MSwithin = 459.39 / 16 = 28.71

Now we have to find F-rstios.

Fcolumns = MScolumns / MSwithin = 20.55 / 28.71 = 0.72

Frows = MSrows / MSwithin = 17.63 / 28.71 = 0.61

Finteraction = MSinteraction / MSwithin = 38.18 / 28.71 = 1.33

Now we can see that,

F-statistic for columns , rows and interaction is less than critical value.

Accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There will be no impact on diet.

There will be no impact on exercise.

There will be no interaction between diet and exercise.
