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.

Fail to reject H 0

. There are no significant differences

among the three treatments.

b. In problem 18 the individual differences were

relatively large and consistent. When the

individual differences were subtracted out,

the error was greatly reduced.

21. The null hypothesis states that there are no differences

among the three weeks. With df = 2, 15, the critical

value is 3.68.

As a result the F-ratio, F(2,12) = 3.24 is not

significant. With a repeated measures design, the

individual differences are removed and the result

is a significant F-ratio, F(2,8) = 8.00, p < .05.

CHAPTER 14 Two-Factor ANOVA

1. a. In analysis of variance, an independent variable (or a

quasi-independent variable) is called a factor.

b. The values of a factor that are used to create the

different groups or treatment conditions are called

the levels of the factor.

c. A research study with two independent (or quasiindependent)

variables is called a two-factor study.

3. During the second stage of the two-factor ANOVA

the mean differences between treatments are analyzed

into differences from each of the two main effects and

differences from the interaction.

5. a. M = 5

b. M = 1

c. M = 9
