To see if police are more likely to pull over certain color cars, researchers gathered 28 Volkswagen Jettas and had them painted one of four colors: red, grey, black, and white. Participants drove the cars around for a month and recorded the number of traffic stops that occurred for each color. The results are below.
∑X2 = 2030
Red Cars: M = 12, T = 84, SS = 70, n = 7
Grey Cars: M = 4, T = 28, SS = 35, n = 7
Black Cars: M = 8, T = 56, SS = 63, n = 7
White Cars: M = 6, T = 42, SS = 42, n = 7
1.Specify the null and alternative hypotheses that car color affected the number of traffic stops.
2. Report the SS-Total, the SS-Within, and the SS-Between of an ANOVA
3. Report the MS-Within, the MS-Between, and the F-ratio of an ANOVA.
4. Using alpha = .01, report your decision about the impact of car color on traffic stops.
