a. Can these results be generalized? To whom?

b. Can cause and effect statements be made? Explain.

c. Calculate accountable, unaccountable, and total variation. Show your work.

d. Eta square is accountable variation divided by total variation. Determine eta square. It is interpreted as the variation in the dependent variable that can be accounted for by the independent variable. Describe eta square in terms of this problem.
