Pregunta 1
Pregunta
Why should you use an ANOVA rather than a lot of T-tests?
Respuesta
-
Performing lots of t-tests increases the probability of making a Type 1 error
-
Performing lots of t-tests increases the probability of making a Type 2 error
-
Performing lots of t-tests increases the chance of failing to reject a false null hypothesis
-
All of the above

Pregunta 7
Pregunta
A researcher wants to see if caffeine improves mathematics ability. She randomly assigned participants to three treatment groups: no caffeine (control), 40mg of coffee, and 80mg of coffee. After the treatment, all participants took a maths test. A one-way ANOVA was performed on the data.
The output is shown below, but the F-value is missing. Using the other information in the table what should the F-value be?

-
There was no significant effect of treatment type on maths ability
-
Maths ability was significantly worse with no caffeine
-
Caffeine significantly improves maths ability
