A two-way ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of athlete type (football, basketball, soccer) and age (younger, older) on slices of pizza eaten. There were significant main effects of athlete type and an interaction between athlete type and age, but no main effect of age. Football players ate the most pizza, followed by basketball players and then soccer players.

• You can report data from your own experiments by
using the example below.
• A two-way analysis of variance was conducted on the influence of two
independent variables (athlete type, age) on the number of slices of pizza eaten
in one sitting. Athlete type included three levels (football, basketball, soccer
players) and age consisted of two levels (younger, older). All effects were
statistically significant at the .05 significance level except for the Age factor. The
main effect for athlete type yielded an F ratio of F(2, 63) = 136.2, p < .001,
indicating a significant difference between football players (M = 9.39, SD = 1.99),
basketball players (M = 5.17, SD = 1.40) and soccer players (M = 2.52, SD = 1.53.
The main effect for age yielded an F ratio of F(1, 63) = 2.9, p > .05, indicating
that the effect for age was not significant, younger (M = 5.97, SD = 3.97) and
older (M = 5.39, SD = 2.34) The interaction effect was significant, F(2, 63) =

• A two-way analysis of variance was conducted on the influence of two
independent variables (athlete type, age) on the number of slices of pizza eaten
in one sitting. Athlete type included three levels (football, basketball, soccer
players) and age consisted of two levels (younger, older). All effects were
statistically significant at the .05 significance level except for the Age factor. The
main effect for athlete type yielded an F ratio of F(2, 63) = 136.2, p < .001,
indicating a significant difference between football players (M = 9.39, SD = 1.99),
basketball players (M = 5.17, SD = 1.40) and soccer players (M = 2.52, SD = 1.53.
The main effect for age yielded an F ratio of F(1, 63) = 2.9, p > .05, indicating
that the effect for age was not significant, younger (M = 5.97, SD = 3.97) and
older (M = 5.39, SD = 2.34) The interaction effect was significant, F(2, 63) =
13.36, p < .001.
