Answer to Problem 25CAP
The completed F table is,
Source of Variation | SS | df | MS | |
Sex | 15 | 1 | 15 | 3.00 |
Feedback | 120 | 2 | 60 | 12.00 |
Sex | 144 | 2 | 72 | 14.40 |
Error | 570 | 114 | 5 | |
Total | 849 | 119 |
The decision is to retain the null hypothesis for sex, the group means for main effect sex do not significantly vary in the population.
The decision is to reject the null hypothesis for feedback, the group means for main effect feedback do significantly vary in the population.
The decision is to reject the null hypothesis for interaction effect; the means of sex do significantly vary by feedback or the combinations of these factors.
Explanation of Solution

Decision rules:
- If the test statistic value is greater than the critical value, then reject the null hypothesis
- If the test statistic value is smaller than the critical value, then retain the null hypothesis
Hypothesis test for main effect factor A (sex):
Let
Null hypothesis:
That is, the group means for main effect sex do not significantly vary in the population.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the group means for main effect sex do significantly vary in the population.
Critical value:
The considered significance level is
The degrees of freedom for numerator are 1, the degrees of freedom for denominator are 114 from completed F table.
From the Appendix B: Table B.3-Critical values for F distribution:
- Locate the value 1 in degrees of freedom numerator row.
- Locate the value 114 in degrees of freedom denominator row. This value is not in the table, consider the next highest value that is 120.
- Locate the 0.05 level of significance (value in lightface type) in combined row.
- The intersecting value that corresponds to the (1, 114) with level of significance 0.05 is 3.92.
Thus, the critical value for
Conclusion:
The value of test statistic is 3.00.
The critical value is 3.92.
The test statistic value is less than the critical value.
The test statistic value does not falls under critical region.
Hence the null hypothesis is retained.
The decision is the group means for main effect sex do significantly vary in the population.
Hypothesis test for main effect factor B (feedback):
Let

Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the group means for main effect technology do significantly vary in the population.
Critical value:
The considered significance level is
The degrees of freedom for numerator are 2, the degrees of freedom for denominator are 114 from completed F table.
From the Appendix B: Table B.3-Critical values for F distribution:
- Locate the value 2 in degrees of freedom numerator row.
- Locate the value 114 in degrees of freedom denominator row. This value is not in the table, consider the next highest value that is 120.
- Locate the 0.05 level of significance (value in lightface type) in combined row.
- The intersecting value that corresponds to the (2, 114) with level of significance 0.05 is 3.07.
Thus, the critical value for
Conclusion:
The value of test statistic is 12.00.
The critical value is 3.07.
The test statistic value is greater than the critical value.
The test statistic value falls under critical region.
Hence the null hypothesis is rejected.
The decision is the group means for main effect feedback do significantly vary in the population.
Hypothesis test for interaction effect of factor A and B:

Null hypothesis:
That is, the means of sex do not significantly vary by feedback or the combinations of these factors.
Alternative hypothesis:
That is, the means of sex do significantly vary by feedback or the combinations of these factors.

The considered significance level is
Thus, the critical value for
Conclusion:
The value of test statistic is 14.40.
The critical value is 3.07.
The test statistic value is greater than the critical value.
The test statistic value falls under critical region.
Hence the null hypothesis is rejected.

Answer to Problem 25CAP
The next step based on the results obtained in the test is that simple main effect tests for the significant interaction have to be calculated.
Explanation of Solution
Justification: The result of the test is that the main effect ‘feedback’ is significant but another main effect ‘sex’ is not significant. The interaction effect of sex and feedback is significant. If the interaction effect is significant in the study the next is to analyze the interaction using the simple main effect tests.
The test that is used for determining the interaction between the two factors is significant or not by comparing the
