Question

Consider the following sample data for a two-factor ANOVA analysis. There are two levels (heavy and light) of factor A (weight), and three levels (small, medium, and large) of factor B (size). For each combination of size and weight, there are three observations.

Size

Use the .05 significance level to answer the following questions.

Complete the ANOVA table.

(Round SS, MS and P values to 3 decimal places and F to 2 decimal places.)

Compute the p-value of Size. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Is there a difference in the Size means?

Compute the p-value of Weight. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Is there a difference in the Weight means?

Compute the p-value for interaction. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Do Size and Weight have a significant interaction?

Compute the p-value of Size. P= 0.180 (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Is there a difference in the Size means?

Since calculated P= 0.180 > 0.05 level, there is no difference in the Size means.

Compute the p-value of Weight. P= 0.141 (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Is there a difference in the Weight means?

Since calculated P= 0.141 > 0.05 level, there is no difference in the weight means.

Compute the p-value for interaction. P=0.642 (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Do Size and Weight have a significant interaction?

Since calculated P= 0.642 > 0.05 level, there is no significant interaction .
