1. In a study of the effects of stress on illness, a researcher tallied the number of colds people contracted during a six month period as a function of the amount of stress they reported during that same time period.  There were three stress levels: minimal, moderate and high stress. The sums of squares appear in the following ANOVA summary table.  The mean for each condition and the condition and the number of subjects precondition are also noted.

Between groups     22.167  

Within groups    14.750

Total 36.917

Stress Level  Mean      N

a. Complete the ANOVA Summary Table

b. Is Fobt significant at ?= .05; at ? = .01

c. Perform post hoc comparison if necessary

d. What conclusions can be drawn from the F-ration and the post hoc comparisons

e. What is the effect size, and what does this mean

f. Graph the means

A researcher conducted and experiment on the effects of a new drug on depression. The researcher had a control group that received nothing, a placebo group, and an experimental group that received the drug. A depression inventory that provided a measure of depression on a 50-point scale was used (50 indicates that an individual is very high on the depression variable). The ANOVA summary table appears next, along with the mean depression score for each condition.

A researcher has been hired by a pizzeria to determine which type of crust customers prefer. The restaurant offers three types of crust: hand tossed, thick, and thin. Following are the mean number of 1 inch pieces of pizza eaten for each condition from 10 subjects who had the opportunity to eat as many pieces with each type of crust as they desired. The ANOVA summary table also follows.
