Question

1. Functional foods are those containing nutritional supplements in addition to natural nutrients. Examples include orange juice with calcium and eggs with omega-3. Researchers examined college students’ attitudes toward functional foods. For American students, the results indicated that females had a more positive attitude toward functional foods and were more likely to purchase them compared to males. In a similar study, a researcher asked students to rate their general attitude toward functional foods on a 7-point scale (higher score is more positive). The results are as follows:

Females                     Males

n = 8                        n = 12

M = 4.69                  M = 4.43

SS = 1.60                  SS = 2.72

1. Do the data indicate a significant difference in attitude for males and females? Use α

= .05. Show all work, including clearly identifying hypothesis testing steps.

2. Compute the percent of variance accounted for by the gender difference to measure effect size.

Write a sentence demonstrating how the results of the hypothesis test and the measure of effect size would appear in a research report
