Dr. Wind is interested in whether weather influences how people drive. She has 30 people drive in three different weather conditions (10 drive in sunny conditions, 10 drive in foggy conditions, and 10 drive in rainy conditions) and measures how fast they drive on the freeway.
1. What is the IV? How many levels does it have? Please name the levels. Is it between- or within-subjects?
2. What is the DV? What is its scale of measurement?
3. What is the appropriate statistical analysis for these data? Please conduct it.

4. Write up the results following APA style. Two to three sentences is sufficient.
5. Create a graph displaying the means and standard deviations of the groups.
1. The independent variable (IV) is weather condition. There are 3 levels of the IV, namely, sunny conditions, foggy conditions, and rainy conditions. This is a between-subjects study.
2. The dependent variable(DV) is driving speed. The scale of measurement is ratio scale.
3. The appropriate statistical test for this study is the one way ANOVA. The results are as under:
4. An analysis of variance showed that the effect of weather was significant, F(2,27) = 37.56, p < .05.
Please post the other question separately as we are supposed to answer just one question or four subparts of a single question.
