Use an existing dataset to compute a factorial ANOVA. All SPSS output should be pasted into your document. The "Activity 5a.sav" file contains a dataset of a researcher interested in finding the best way to educate elementary age children in mathematics. In particular, she thinks that fifth grade girls do better in small class sizes, while boys excel in larger classes. Through the school district, she has arranged a pilot program in which some classroom sizes are reduced prior to the state-wide mathematics competency assessment. In the dataset, you will find the following variables:
Participant: unique identifier
Gender: Male (M) or Female (F)
Classroom:
Small (1) - no more than 10 children
Medium (2) - between 11 and 19 children
Large (3) - 20 or more students
Score - final score on the statewide competency assessment.
Complete the following:
Exploratory Data Analysis.
Perform exploratory data analysis on all variables in the data set. Realizing that you have six groups, be sure that your exploratory analysis is divided by groups. When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustrate the dataset.
Prepare a one to two-paragraph write up of the data once you have completed this.
Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
Factorial ANOVA. Perform a factorial ANOVA using the "Activity 5a.sav" data set.
Is there a main effect of gender? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests when necessary (or explain why they are not required in this specific case).
Is there a main effect of classroom size? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests when necessary (or explain why they are not required in this specific case).
Is there an interaction between your two variables? If so, using post hoc tests, describe these differences.
Is there support for the researcher's hypothesis that girls would do better than boys in classrooms with fewer students? Explain your answer.
Write up the results in APA style and interpret them. Be sure that you discuss both main effects and the presence/absence of an interaction between the two.
