anova stats questions
1. If the treatment Sum of Squares is 400, and k=5, what is the treatment variance?
2. For three conditions with five scores in each condition, what is dftotal?
3. What is the table value for F(11,46) when alpha = .05?
4. What is the lowest possible value for the F statistic?
5. Given: F(2,25). What is F(crit) for alpha = .01?
6. Given: F(5,25). What is k?
7. Given: F(1,25). What is N?
1) Treatment Sum of Squares = 400
k = 5
Treatment Variance = Treatment Sum of Squares / (k -
1)
= 400 / (5 -1)
= 100
Treatment Variance = 100
2) Number of conditions = 3
Number of scores in each condition = 5
Thus, total scores = 3 x 5 = 15
Degrees of Freedom Total = 15 - 1 = 14
dfTotal = 14
3) alpha = .05
F(11,46)
We use Excel function F.INV.RT to find the critical
value of F
F(11,46) for alpha = 0.05
= F.INV.RT(0.05, 11, 46)
= 2.0039
Table value for F(11, 46) when alpha = .05 =
2.0039
4) In ANOVA, the F-statistic is the ratio of Mean Sum
of Squares
The mean sum of squares will always be greater than
0
Hence the F-statistic will always be
positive
Although, a value close to 0 indicate
violations of the assumptions that ANOVA depends on
but theoretically the lowest value possible for the F
statistic = 0
5) alpha = .01
F(2,25)
We use Excel function F.INV.RT to find the critical
value of F
F(2,25) for alpha = 0.01
= F.INV.RT(0.01, 2, 25)
= 5.56997
F-crit for F(2, 25) when alpha = .01 =
5.56997
6) F(5,25)
implies the treatment degrees of freedom =
5
The treatment degrees of freedom = k - 1
Thus k = 5 + 1 = 6
k = 6
7) F(1,25)
implies the treatment degrees of freedom =
1
and the within degrees of freedom = 25
Total degrees of freedom = 1 + 25 = 26
Total degrees of freedom is also N - 1
N - 1 = 26
N = 27
