11.1. While a t test is used to compare two means , the one - way ANOV A c a n be used to simultaneously compare ____ groups. 11.2. An ANOV A is considered to be an extension of the t test f o r independent samples because both investigate differences bet w een ______. 11.3. By conducting a one-way ANOVA test to compare multiple (more than 2) group means simultaneously instead of conducting a series of t tes ts to compare these means , the potential level of ____ is reduced . 11.4. In order to appl y the ANOV A test , the data should be measured on a (n) _____ or ______ scale . • 11.5. The one-way ANOV A is used when there is/are ____indepe n d ent variable(s). 11 . 6 . With 3 groups , the null h y pothesis (H o ) in ANOV A is : __________. 11.7. The total (or grand) mean in ANOV A can be thought of as the mean o f ____. 11.8. The SSw (within - group s sum of squares) and the SSg (betwee n - groups sum of squares) are equal to thesum of squares. 11.9. To find the MS g , we divide the SSg by _________. 11.10. To compute the F ratio, we divide the ______ mean squar e b y t he _________ mean square. 11.11 . Factorial ANOVA is commonly used when there are at lea s t ______ independent variables. Circle the correct answer: 11 . 12. The following is an example of a(n) null/alternative h y pothesi s i n AN O VA: Mean one does not equal mean 2 and/or mean one does not equal mean 2 and/or mean 2 does not equal mean 3 11.13 . Post hoc comparisons should be conducted in cases w here the F ra t io is/is not statistically significant. 11 . 14 . The F ratio is likely to be statistically significant when the differenc es be tw e en the group means are small/large . . 11.15 . The F ratio is more likely to be statistically significant when it is used t o anal y ze scores from groups that are homogenous/heterogeneous in regar d t o the characteristic or behavior being measured. 11 . 16. An ANOVA procedure is used to analyze data from a study comparin g s cores of three groups . Following are the obtained mean squares and t he appropr i at e critical values for the F ratio at p=.05 and p=.01 F crit (. 05 , 2 ,2 0) = 3.49 and F c r i t ( . O1,2 , 20) = 5.85 Compute the obtained F ratio. Determine whether the results are statistically significan t . Report your conclusions. 1 1 .17. Three different age groups of consumers (ages 18-25 , 26-35 , 36 -45) in two different regions of the country (Midwest , South) were sur v e y ed a b out the i r likelihood of buying a new product.
