Question

A professor has a class with five recitation sections. Each section has 18 students. The question is whether or not the average test score is significantly different for any of the sections.

Group-1 Group-2 Group-3 Group-4 Group-5
83.7 84.3 56.6 67.5 60.7
80.8 77.1 83 71.9 80.2
91.3 72.4 77.4 70.5 57.3
80.1 74.4 79.2 79 68.7
93.3 71.9 73 81.8 70
78.1 73.7 74.5 62.8 64.5
76.5 69.7 81.4 75.1 63.1
68.2 72 75.2 83.7 65.5
62.8 71 79.3 85.4 67.6
76.5 73.1 74.5 81.5 67.1
79.2 67.9 74.9 86.7 72.2
62.1 78.7 84.8 63.4 80.8
86.7 97.2 66.8 79.3 68.2
79 74.6 66.4 75.9 67.7
79.1 82.3 69.3 70.3 68.2
71.1 62.2 53.3 71.1 58
61.8 68.9 82.7 60.2 73
70.7 83.2 61.9 64.6 49.5

Conduct a test to determine if the group means are equal using α=0.02α=0.02.  

Summary statistics:
F-ratio (F-test statistics) = 
     p-value = 
    (report accurate to at least 4 decimal places)

What is the measure of effect size ω2ω2 ? This is on the Excel sheet and is also a measure of the percentage of variation explained by the variable being tested, similar to η2η2 and for correlation, r2r2 . 
    (report accurate to at least 3 decimal places)

Conclusion:

  • The sample data suggest that some sections have significantly different average exam scores.
  • There is not sufficient data to suggest that some sections have significantly different average exam scpres.
  • The sample data suggest that some sections show a significant correlation to other sections
  • There is not sufficient data to suggest that some sections show a significant correlation to other sections.
  • The sample data suggest that some sections are dependent on other sections
  • There is not sufficient data to suggest that some sections are dependent on other sections.
