Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by Frederick J. Gravetter, Larry B. Wallnau ISBN 10: 1305504917 ISBN 13: 9781305504912

Statistics is one of the most practical and essential courses that you will take, and a primary goal of this popular text is to make the task of learning statistics as simple as possible. Straightforward instruction, built-in learning aids, and real-world examples have made STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 10th Edition the text selected most often by instructors for their students in the behavioral and social sciences. The authors provide a conceptual context that makes it easier to learn formulas and procedures, explaining why procedures were developed and when they should be used. This text will also instill the basic principles of objectivity and logic that are essential for science and valuable in everyday life, making it a useful reference long after you complete the course.

STEP 2

Locate the critical region To locate the critical region, we must obtain the values for

df between

and df within

.

df between

= k – 1 = 3 – 1 = 2

df within

= N – k = 15 – 3 = 12

The F-ratio for this problem has df = 2, 12. Consult the F-distribution table for df = 2 in the

numerator and df = 12 in the denominator. The critical F value for α = .05 is F = 3.88. The

obtained F-ratio must exceed this value to reject H 0

.

STEP 3

Perform the analysis The analysis involves the following steps:

1. Perform the analysis of SS.

2. Perform the analysis of df.

3. Calculate mean squares.

4. Calculate the F-ratio.

Perform the Analysis of SS We will compute SS total

followed by its two components.

Analyze Degrees of Freedom We will compute df total

. Its components, df between

and

df within

, were previously calculated (step 2).

df total

= N – 1 = 15 – 1 = 14

df between

df within

= 12

Calculate the MS Values The values for MS between

and MS within

are determined.
