u07a1 – ANOVA

Complete the following problems within this Word document. (Do not submit other files.) Show your work for problem sets that require calculations. Ensure that your answer to each problem is clearly visible. (You may want to highlight your answer or use a different type color to set it apart.)

Problem Set 7.1: Critical Value

Criterion: Explain the relationship between k and power based on calculated k values.

Instructions: Read the following and answer the question.

Work through the following and write down what you see in the F-table. This will help familiarize you with the table.

The F-table. The degrees of freedom for the numerator (k − 1) are across the columns; the degrees of freedom for the denominator (N − k) are across the rows in the table. A separate table is included for a .05 and .01 level of significance.

Increasing the levels of the independent variable (k):

1.Suppose we have a sample size of 24 participants (N = 24). Record the critical values given the following values for k:

                .05          .01

k = 2

k = 4

k = 6

k = 8       ___

___

___

___        ___

___

___

___

2.As k increases (from 1 to 8), does the critical value increase or decrease? Based on your answer, explain how k is related to power.

Problem Set 7.2: Interpret ANOVA Results

Criterion: Interpret the results of an ANOVA.

Instruction: Read the following and answer the question.

Data:Life satisfaction among sport coaches. Drakou et al. (2006) tested differences in life satisfaction among sport coaches. They tested differences by sex, age, marital status, and education. The results of each test in the following table are similar to the way in which the data were given in their article.

Problem Set 7.3: One-way ANOVA in JASP

Criterion: Calculate an ANOVA in JASP.

Data: Use the Stress dataset.This dataset is a record of the amount of fat (in grams) consumed in a buffet-style lunch among professional bodybuilders under conditions of high, moderate, and low stress.

Instructions: Complete the steps below.

1.Download Stress data set. Double-click the icon to open the dataset in JASP.

2.In the Toolbar, click ANOVA. In the menu that appears, under Classical, select ANOVA.

3.Select Fat grams consumed and then click the upper Arrow to send it over to the Dependent Variable box.

4.Select Stress level and then click the lower Arrow to send it over to the Fixed factors box.

5.Check the Descriptive statistics box.

6.Copy and paste the output below.

Note: You will continue to use this dataset for Problem Set 7.6.

Problem Set 7.4: One-way ANOVA in Excel

Criterion:Calculate an ANOVA in Excel.
