c) the populations all have completely different distributions.
d) There is no assumption about the distribution of the population.

A

a) the populations are normally distributed.

44
Q

Error variance in the analysis of variance is estimated by:
a) differences between subjects in the same group.
b) differences between subjects in different groups.
c) the overall variability of scores in the experiment.
d) the misrecording of data

A

a) differences between subjects in the same group.

45
Q

If the null hypothesis in the analysis of variance were true,
a) the variances would all be the same.
b) the sample means would all be the same.
c) the population means would all be the same.
d) every subject would have the same score.

A

c) the population means would all be the same

46
Q

Fisher’s LSD test is most useful when:
a) you have only one mean.
b) you have three means.
c) you have more than three means.
d) you have a nonsignificant overall F

A

b) you have three means.

47
Q

The familywise error rate is:
a) the probability of at least one Type I error in a set of comparisons.
b) the probability of no Type I errors.
c) the number of Type I errors that you are likely to make.
d) the probability of a Type II error.

A

a) the probability of at least one Type I error in a set of comparisons.

48
Q

The difference between a one-way analysis of variance and a factorial analysis of
variance is:
a) the presence of a test for an interaction.
b) the presence of tests for more than one main effect.
c) one-way analyses of variance have an error term, whereas factorial analyses do not.
d) both a and b

A

d) both a and b

49
Q

A simple effect is calculated by:
a) looking only at the data for one level of one of the independent variables.
b) averaging across the levels of one of the independent variables.
c) ignoring one of the independent variables.
d) dividing the main effect by the degrees of freedom.

A

a) looking only at the data for one level of one of the independent variables

50
Q

A pediatrician is studying weight gain in infants. He divides them into 2 groups: breast
fed and bottle fed. Further, he divides them into those whose mothers feed them on a
timed schedule, and those whose mothers feed them when they cry (on demand). Weight
gain is the dependent measure. What type of analysis should pediatrician conduct on the
data?
a) a regression
b) a one-way ANOVA
c) a 2 X 2 factorial ANOVA
d) a 2 X 2 correlation

A

c) a 2 X 2 factorial ANOVA

51
Q

The major disadvantage with repeated-measures designs is that they:
a) require too many subjects.
b) are less powerful than between-subjects designs.
c) have a funny looking summary table.
d) are subject to the influence of carry-over effects.

A

d) are subject to the influence of carry-over effects.

52
Q

The correlation between two variables is defined as:

a) the correlation is not statistically significant.

54
Q

When we say that a correlation coefficient is statistically significant, we mean that:

d) we have strong support for a causal statement about the relationship

A

c) we have reason to believe that the true correlation in the population is not 0.0.

55
Q

The correlation in the population is denoted by:
a) p
b) r
c) R

a) p

56

equal to –28.21. This tells us that the:
a) relationship between height and speed is significant.
b) relationship between height and speed is negative.
c) the correlation is equal to the square root of –28.21.
d) the correlation is equal to –28.21.

A

b) relationship between height and speed is negative.
