Fred wanted to address the following hypotheses.1. H 0 The mean IQs <strong>of</strong> children with biological parents <strong>of</strong> high SESare the same as those with biological parents <strong>of</strong> low SES2. H 0 The mean IQs <strong>of</strong> children with adoptive parents <strong>of</strong> high SESare the same as those with adoptive parents <strong>of</strong> low SES3. H 0 The relationship between IQs <strong>and</strong> adoptive parents’ SES is notaffected by the SES <strong>of</strong> the biological parents.To accomplish this he decided to do a two factor ANOVA,in R. Using the comm<strong>and</strong> aov.ex2 = aov(IQ ∼ AdoptparentSES*BioparentSES,data=Nature)then summary(aov.ex2).Fred can obtain the following output.From this printout, Fred can address each <strong>of</strong> his hypothesis1. H 0 The mean IQs <strong>of</strong> children with biological parents <strong>of</strong> high SESare the same as those with biological parents <strong>of</strong> low SESLooking at the p-value associated with the biological parents, Fred sawthat it was 0.0009, which is highly signficant. Fred can reject thishypothesis, <strong>and</strong> accept the alternative that there is a difference in theIQs between children <strong>of</strong> biological parents with high SES, compared tobiological parents with low SES.200
