Question

1. A marketing specialist at a radio station wants to show that more people hear about local businesses on the air than from billboards or direct mailings. She creates three different versions of the same ads—radio spot, billboard, and direct mailing—in three different towns that are not near each other (to avoid violating statistical assumptions). At the end of a month, she chooses 50 random phone numbers from each town and asks the participants to rate how familiar the car dealership is. What is the appropriate statistical test for this research design?

A) paired-samples t test

B) between-subjects, one-way analysis of variance

C) independent-samples t test

D) single-sample z test
