B) any significant difference between pairs of means

C) the largest difference between pairs of means

B) variability within groups will tend to exceed variability between groups

C) variability between groups and within groups will tend to be about the same

D) total variability will tend to exceed variability between groups and within groups

A) all sample means

B) all population means

C) at least one pair of sample means

D) at least one pair of population means

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:

Option B is correct.

You needn't be too concerned about violating the assumptions of the F test so long as sample variances are equal and very large

Answer 2:

Option D is correct.

Use Cohen's d to estimate the effect size of the mean difference between all pairs of means

Answer 3:

Option B is correct.

Regardless of whether the null hypothesis is true or false, variability within groups reflects only random error.

Answer 4:

Option A is correct.

Variability between groups is based on the variation among the scores of equal numbers of subjects.

Answer 5:

Option A is correct.

If there is a treatment effect, then the group means will differ more than you would expect by chance. So the variability between groups will be relatively high.

Answer 6:

Option D is correct.

A treatment effect exists if differences exist between at least one pair of population means.
