Question

1. If the F value obtained from the data is .001 and df = 2,25, you should a. reject the null hypothesis; b. retain the null hypothesis; c. rework the problem; such a value is impossible.

2. A group of 50 participants was divided equally into 5 groups. A Tukey HSD produced a value that led to the conclusion that Mean 1 was significantly larger than Mean 2, p < .05. Which of the following situations would lead to such a conclusion?

none of the other alternatives are correct.

3.  

Big Bird analyzed a set of data and got an F value of less than 1.00. Big Bird should (hint: this is a "thinking" questions based upon the formula and eyeballing the critical values.)

= 13, = 5, MSerror = 36;

Explanation / Answer

1) If Fcal =0.001 and df =2,25

F critical for alpha=0.01 =5.57 with d.f 2,25

F critical alpha= 0.05 = 3.38 with 2,25

F critical alpha=0.1= 2.53 with 2,25

SINCE F CALCULATED IS SMALLER THAN F CRITICAL, WE DO NOT REJECT NULL HYPOTHESIS AT ALL THIS LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE.

HENCE OPTION B RETAIN THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.
