Anova Testing

by

Humanities

In the last project you developed three different research questions that could be addressed using a one-sample, dependent samples, or independent samples t-test. In this week’s Discussion you will expand the research question that should be addressed using the independent samples t-test to include more than two groups (levels).

  1. ANOVA Testing: Expand your research question comparing two independent means from Unit 6 and include more than two groups to compare. Write down your question and why you feel that it is appropriate for a one-way ANOVA test.
  2. State Hypotheses: State your null hypothesis and your alternative hypothesis. State the dependent variable, the independent variable and the levels of that variable.
  3. Describe Data: Describe the type of data you would collect. What sample size would you use and what would your data look like?
  4. Predict Results: Predict the results of your ANOVA test and write out the appropriate conclusion. Using alpha of .05, include a pretend p-value that would justify either accepting or rejecting your null hypothesis. What would you expect from a Post Hoc test given your predicted results from your ANOVA test?
