The acronym ANOVA stands for .

True or False: To perform a one-way ANOVA, the populations do not need to be normally distributed.

True or False: To perform a one-way ANOVA, the populations must have the same variance.

The variability among the sample means is called - sample variability, and the variability of each sample is the - sample variability

The variability within each treatment group, which is a weighted average of the sample variances from each treatment where the weights are based on the size of each sample, is called the mean square due to and is denoted .

True or False: The F-test statistic is F0 = MST MSE .

Which Delivery Method Is Best? At a community college, the mathematics department has been experimenting with four different delivery mechanisms for content in their Intermediate Algebra courses. One method is the traditional lecture (method I), the second is a hybrid format in which half the class time is online and the other half is face-to-face (method II), the third is online (method III), and the fourth is an emporium model from which students obtain their lectures and do their work in a lab with an instructor available for assistance (method IV). To assess the effectiveness of the four methods, students in each approach are given a final exam with the results shown next.

Reaction Time In an online psychology experiment sponsored by the University of Mississippi, researchers asked study participants to respond to various stimuli. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Subjects in group 1 were in the simple group. They were required to respond as quickly as possible after a stimulus was presented. Subjects in group 2 were in the go/no-go group. These subjects were required to respond to a particular stimulus while disregarding other stimuli. Finally, subjects in group 3 were in the choice group. They needed to respond differently, depending on the stimuli presented. Depending on the type of whistle sound, the subject must press a certain button. The reaction time (in seconds) for each stimulus is presented in the table. Simple Go/No Go Choice 0.430 0.588 0.561 0.498 0.375 0.498 0.480 0.409 0.519 0.376 0.613 0.538 0.402 0.481 0.464 0.329 0.355 0.725 Source: PsychExperiments; The University of Mississippi; www.olemiss.edu/psychexps/ The researcher wants to determine if the mean reaction times for each stimulus are equal.

Car-Buying Discrimination To determine if there is gender and/or race discrimination in car buying, Ian Ayres put together a team of fifteen white males, five white females, four black males, and seven black females who were each asked to obtain an initial offer price from the dealer on a certain model car. The 31 individuals were made to appear as similar as possible to account for other variables that may play a role in the offer price of a car. The following data are based on the results in the article and represent the profit on the initial price offered by the dealer.

Crash Data The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducts experiments in which cars are crashed into a fixed barrier at 40 mph. In the institutes 40-mph offset test, 40% of the total width of each vehicle strikes a barrier on the drivers side. The barriers deformable face is made of aluminum honeycomb, which makes the forces in the test similar to those involved in a frontal offset crash between two vehicles of the same weight, each going just less than 40 mph. You are in the market to buy a family car and you want to know if the mean head injury resulting from this offset crash is the same for large family cars, passenger vans, and midsize utility vehicles. The following data were collected from the institutes study.

Lower Your Cholesterol Researchers Francisco Fuentes and his colleagues wanted to determine the most effective diet for reducing LDL cholesterol, the so-called bad cholesterol, among three diets: (1) a saturated-fat diet, (2) the Mediterranean diet, and (3) the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program or NCEP-1 Diet. The participants in the study were shown to have the same levels of LDL cholesterol before the study. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Individuals in group 1 received the saturated-fat diet, which is 15% protein, 47% carbohydrates, and 38% fat (20% saturated fat, 12% monounsaturated fat, and 6% polyunsaturated fat). Individuals in group 2 received the Mediterranean diet, which is 47% carbohydrates, and 38% fat (610% saturated fat, 22% monounsaturated fat, and 6% polyunsaturated fat). Individuals in group 3 received the NCEP-1 Diet (610% saturated fat, 12% monounsaturated fat, and 6% polyunsaturated fat). After 28 days, their LDL cholesterol levels were recorded. The data in the following table are based on this study.

Analyzing Journal Article Results Researchers (Brian G. Feagan et al., Erythropoietin with Iron Supplementation to Prevent Allogeneic Blood Transfusion in Total Hip Joint Arthroplasty, Annals of Internal Medicine, Vol. 133, No. 11) wanted to determine whether epoetin alfa was effective in increasing the hemoglobin concentration in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. The researchers screened patients for eligibility by performing a complete medical history and physical of the patients. Once eligible patients were identified, the researchers used a computer-generated schedule to assign the patients to the high-dose epoetin group, low-dose epoetin group, or placebo group. The study was double-blind. Based on an analysis of variance, it was determined that there were significant differences in the increase in hemoglobin concentration in the three groups with a P-value less than 0.001. The mean increase in hemoglobin in the high-dose epoetin group was 19.5 grams per liter (g/L), the mean increase in hemoglobin in the low-dose epoetin group was 17.2 g/L, and mean increase in hemoglobin in the placebo group was 1.2 g/L. (a) Why do you think it was necessary to screen patients for eligibility? (b) Why was a computer-generated schedule used to assign patients to the various treatment groups? (c) What does it mean for a study to be double-blind? Why do you think the researchers desired a double-blind study? (d) Interpret the reported P-value.

Putting It Together: Psychological Profiles Researchers wanted to determine if the psychological profile of healthy children was different than for children suffering from recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) or recurring headaches. A total of 210 children and adolescents were studied and their psychological profiles were graded according to the Child Behaviour Checklist 418 (CBCL). Children were stratified in two age groups: 4 to 11 years and 12 to 18 years. The results of the study are summarized in the following table: n Sample Mean Sample Variance Control group 70 11.7 21.6 RAP 70 9.0 13.0 Headache 70 12.4 8.4 Source: Galli, et al.
