Textbook Question
Chapter 11.4, Problem 7LO
Describe three specific applications of the factorial design: (1) adding a factor to an existing study; (2) using a participant variable as a second factor to control the variance in a between-subjects design; and (3) using the order of treatments as a second factor to evaluate the order effects in a within-subjects design; explain the advantage of using a factorial design in these situations.

Attractiveness of body types has been a large discussion relating to effects on youth and culture. Unhealthy levels of BMI are often associated with beauty. A researcher decided to study how young heterosexual adults body type preferences related to BMI. Participants were asked to use a computer program to design their desired partner. The program then calculated the BMI of the designed partners. The table summarizes the results based on a SRS of 35 men and 48 women.
BMI designed by men
n=35
x-bar=18.850
stdev=1.750
SE Mean 0.277
BMI designed by women
n=48
x-bar=25.860
stdev=4.215
SE Mean 0.625
Use this information to conduct a test to decide if male and/or female body type preferences are associated with healthy BMI measurements. You should have two complete tests here. You may assume the populations are normally distributed.
What does an A X B interaction mean in a two - way ANOVA?
A. The affect of factor A depends on the level of factor B
B. The main effects for Factors A and B must be short of significance
C. There must be significant main effects for Factors A and B
D. If there are significant main effects, they must be interpreted first before interpreting the interaction

- One of the primary advantages of a repeated-measures design, compared to an independent-measures design, is that it reduces the overall variability by removing variance caused by individual differences.

- A researcher collects data from a sample of children with Crohn's disease and then compares that data to data collected from a sample of children without the disease. What type of study design is the researcher using for this study? Cohort Cross-sectional Quasi-experimental Case-Controlarrow_forwardA researcher would like to conduct a study related to student emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. The researcher would like to examine two objectives in his study. First, he would like to examine whether the EQ training and coaching programme will improve the level of EQ for university students. Second, he would like to study the relationship between student academic performance (CGPA) and students’ emotional intelligence (EQ) in a university. Twenty samples of students from the first year were taken for the study. The researcher has collected the data for a few variables: gender, academic performance, and emotional intelligence (EQ) test score. The study is divided into two parts. First, the student must answer the emotional intelligence (EQ) test assessment before attending the EQ training and coaching programme. Second, the researcher will request the same twenty students to attend a one-month emotional intelligence (EQ) coaching and training programme. Upon completing the…arrow_forwardA bank has a Head Office in Delhi and a branch at Mumbai. There are long customer queues at one office, while customer queues are short at the other office. The Operations Manager of the bank wonders if the customers at one branch are more variable than the number of customers at another branch. A research study of customers is carried out by him. The variance of Delhi Head Office customers is 31 and that for Mumbai branch is 20. The sample size for Delhi Head Office is 11 and that for Mumbai branch is 21. Use a 5 % level of significance to test the difference in variance for both the branches.arrow_forward
- 1. A research team is interested in investigating how sleep deprivation and memory training influence memory recall (operationalized/measured by the number of words participants can remember after studying a list of words). Some participants are not permitted to sleep during the night before the study, some participants are allowed only four hours of sleep, and some participants are allowed eight hours of sleep. With reference to memory training, some participants get memory training prior to studying the word list, and some do not get memory training prior to studying the word list. Participants are randomly assigned to one of six unique groups. The research team is measuring number of words correctly recalled. Factor A is Memory Training and Factor B is Sleep Deprivation.arrow_forwardA researcher published this survey result: "74% of people would be willing to spend 10 percent more for energy from a non-polluting source". The survey question was announced on a national radio show and 1200 listeners responded by calling in. Determine whether the study involves selection bias, participation bias, both selection bias and participation bias, or neither. Also describe how the bias would affect the results.arrow_forwardPurchasing agents were given information about a cellular phone system and asked to assess its quality. The information given was identical except for two factors—price and country of origin. For price there were three possibilities: $150, $80, and no price given. For country of origin there were also three possibilities: United States, Taiwan, and no country given. Part of the analysis of variance table for the quality assessments of the purchasing agents is shown here. Complete the analysis of variance table and provide a full analysis of these data.
