Question

I ran an analysis on your Day 1 Survey data to determine if your TV watching varied by class (freshman, sophomore, or junior/seniors). The question asked you to report how much time you spent watching TV in minutes in the past week. The results of my analysis are below. Write a conclusion to this test including relevant comparisons for the post-hoc tests as well.

Explanation / Answer

Conclusion :

From ANOVA table we say that calculated value of F > critical value of F

Hence here we reject null hypothesis.

So all means are nott same , at least one is different,

By using post hoc test we can find which mean(s) is (are ) different.

1) So first we check that is there any difference between means of Freshman and sophomore.

From the output above we get that,

Calculated t value (2.769602) > critical t value (1.994437)

So we reject null hypothesis.

So means of Freshman and sophomore are different.

2) Now we check is there any difference betweeen means of Freshman and junior/senior.

From the output above we get that

Calculated value of t (2.519461) > critical value of t ( 1.994945 )

So we reject null hypothesis.

Hence we say that means of Freshman and junior/ senior are not same.

3) Now we check if there is any difference between means of sophomore and junior/senior.

From the output above we get that

calcualted value of t (-0.4981333) < critical value of t ( -1.97943869)

So we fail to reject null hypothesis.

So we conclude that means of sophomore and junior/senior are same.

Hence we say that out of three means Freshman mean is different.
