Why should you use an ANOVA rather than a lot of T-tests?
Answer
Performing lots of t-tests increases the probability of making a Type 1 error
Performing lots of t-tests increases the probability of making a Type 2 error
Performing lots of t-tests increases the chance of failing to reject a false null hypothesis
All of the above
Question 2
Question
The ANOVA statistic is calculated by ____________
Answer
Subtracting the between groups variance from the within groups variance
Adding the between groups variance to the within groups variance
Dividing the between groups variance by the within groups variance
Multiplying the between groups variance by the within groups variance
Question 3
Question
You calculate an F ratio and get a value more than 1. How would you interpret this?
Answer
There is more between groups variance than within groups variance
There is the same amount of between groups variance as within groups variance
There is less between groups variance than within groups variance
There is no within groups variance

Question 7
Question
A researcher wants to see if caffeine improves mathematics ability. She randomly assigned participants to three treatment groups: no caffeine (control), 40mg of coffee, and 80mg of coffee. After the treatment, all participants took a maths test. A one-way ANOVA was performed on the data.
The output is shown below, but the F-value is missing. Using the other information in the table what should the F-value be?
