1. Parametric one-way independent ANOVA is a generalisation of: (a) The paired t-test (b) The independent t-test (c) χ2 (d) Pearson’s r Questions 2 to 4 are based on the following information: Alice, a third-year student, noticed that she and her friends learned more statistics when they were in Madame MacAdamia’s class than in Professor P. Nutt’s. They could not determine whether this was due to the style of the teaching or the content of the lectures, which differed somewhat. For her third-year project, therefore, she persuaded three statistics lecturers to give the same statistics lecture, but to use their usual lecturing styles. First-year students were allotted randomly to the three different lecturers, for one hour. At the end of the lecture, they were tested on their enjoyment of the lecture (ENJOYMENT), and also on what they had learned in the lecture (KNOWLEDGE). Alice then conducted a one-way ANOVA on the results. This is the SPSSFW printout for ENJOYMENT: 2. Which is the most appropriate conclusion? (a) There are statistically significant differences between the three groups of students on ENJOYMENT (b) There are important differences between the three groups but these are not statistically significant (c) There are no statistical or important differences between the three groups (d) No conclusions can be drawn The following is also given with the above printout: What can you conclude from this? (a) The variances of the groups are significantly different from each other (b) The variances of the groups are similar (c) The variances are heterogeneous (d) None of the above 4. Here are the results for the KNOWLEDGE questionnaire, which the students completed after their one-hour lecture: Which is the most sensible conclusion? (a) There are significant differences between the groups on KNOWLEDGE; specifically, Colin Cashew’s group retained more of the lecture than the other two groups (b) There are significant differences between the groups on KNOWLEDGE; speci
