Question

Air traffic controllers perform the vital function of regulating the traffic of passenger planes. Frequently, air traffic controllers work long hours with little sleep. Researchers wanted to test their ability to make basic decisions as they become increasingly sleep deprived. To test their abilities, a sample of 6 air traffic controllers is selected and given a decision-making skills test following 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour sleep deprivation. Higher scores indicate better decision-making skills. The table lists the hypothetical results of this study.

Sleep Deprivation
12 Hours	24 Hours	48 Hours
24	18	18
20	22	22
35	24	22
28	21	14
24	15	16
22	22	16

(a) Complete the F-table. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) Compute a Bonferroni procedure and interpret the results. (Assume experimentwise alpha equal to 0.05. Select all that apply.)

There is a significant difference in decision making for the 24-hour and 48-hour sleep deprivation conditions.

There is a significant difference in decision making for the 12-hour and 48-hour sleep deprivation conditions.

There are no significant differences between any of the groups.

There is a significant difference in decision making for the 12-hour and 24-hour sleep deprivation conditions.
