To test whether students in a higher grade level will be less disruptive in class, a school psychologist records the number of documented interruptions during one day of classes from nine local high schools. The sample consisted of nine

(n = 9)

freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior high school classes. The data for each high school class are given in the table.

High School Class
Freshman	Sophomore	Junior	Senior
1	0	3	4
2	5	6	1
4	1	0	3
0	4	4	2
1	1	5	4
3	0	0	4
5	2	3	2
2	5	5	4
4	3	4	5

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

(b) Is it necessary to compute a post hoc test? Explain. (Assume alpha equal to 0.05.)

Yes, post hoc analyses are appropriate because the ANOVA is significant.

No, post hoc analyses are not appropriate because the ANOVA is not significant.

You may need to use the appropriate table in Appendix B to answer this question.

"You are interested in determining whether there is a relationship between the grade level of students at Big Rock School District and their primary color preference for a new school football uniform. A sample of students (grades 8, 9, 12) is asked which color (black, blue, gold) they would prefer for a new school football uniform. Assuming the .05 level of significance, what would you conclude?" 8th grade mean 13.0, 9th grade mean: 12.6, 12th grade mean: 8.0. There is...

The table below includes reading test scores for 30 students in a 6th grade class. Follow the steps outlined in the Corder & Foreman’s textbook (pp. 24-27) to examine the sample’s skewness and kurtosis for normality for an alpha (α) level of .05. Your response should be organized according to those steps. Report your findings. (10 points) (5 points each for skewness and kurtosis. For each 5 points= 2 points for SPSS Printout, 2 points for Z, and 1 point...

A class contains 200 students. The teacher wants to test whether the mean IQ in the class exceeds 120. He chooses a random sample of 16 students and finds that the mean IQ in the sample is 122.8 and the standard deviation of the IQ’s in the sample is 10.9. Let alpha = 0.05. You may assume that IQ's are Normally distributed. Which one of the following is the correct conclusion for this hypothesis test? Group of answer choices A...
