Explanation / Answer

Q1.

Let the degrees of freedom of release time be = x

Then df of interaction = df of release time * df of genre

= 2x

df of release time + df of genre + df of interaction + df of error = df of total

=> x + 2 + 2x + 54 = 59

=> 3x = 3

=> x = 1

So, df of release time =1

and df of interaction = 2

Mean square = Sum of squares / degrees of freedom

F statistic = Corresponding Mean square / Error mean square

Hence, the complete ANOVA table is:

Q2.

The researcher wants to test for the interaction effect between the two independent variables (release time and genre)

Null hypothesis: There is no effect due to an interaction between release time and genre of the movie on the gross box office collections of the movie.

Alternate hypothesis: There is a significant effect due to an interaction between release time and genre of the movie on the gross box office collections of the movie.

Q3.

To test this hypothesis,

The test statistic is the F-statistic due to interaction which is equal to 3.946

Under H0,

this statsitic follows F distribution with df = (df of intercation, df of error)

= (2, 54)

Hence,to use the p-value method, we need to compue the value that:

P(F > 3.946, df n = 2, df d = 54)

Q4.

Suppose that the p-value thus obtained from calculating

P(F > 3.946, df n = 2, df d = 54)

is 0.025

We are testing at 0.05 level of significance

which is greater than the p-value = 0.025

So, we reject the null hypothesis that there is no effect due to an interaction between release time and genre of the movie on the gross box office collections of the movie.

Thus, we conclude that there is a statistically significant effect due to an interaction between release time and genre of the movie on the gross box office collections of the movie.
