Leo is interested in the effects of sleep deprivation usage on number of calories consumed. He asks a group of 20 college students to spend the night in the sleep lab under one of the following conditions: no sleep, 2 hours of sleep, 4 hours of sleep, 6 hours of sleep, or 8 hours of sleep. Leo measures how many calories are consumed by the student in the sleep lab, which is stocked with various food items. After collecting the data, Leo performs an ANOVA and finds that he can reject the null hypothesis. On the basis of this, what does Leo know?
He knows that there is a difference among the groups somewhere, but he does not know where

When calculating a Tukey HSD test for a within-groups ANOVA, under what conditions should you use the harmonic mean?
You never use the harmonic mean since the groups always have equal sample sizes
Tiffany is interested in the effects of different kinds of instructions on exam performance. She asks 60 college freshmen to study regularly for an upcoming exam, which they will have 1 hour to take. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three instruction groups: (1) complete the exam as quickly as possible, (2) complete the multiple choice before the short answers and essays, or (3) complete the short answers and essays before the multiple choice. If Tiffany averages the scores for each instruction group and then compares them, any differences in the means of the instruction groups reflect:
between-groups variance.
There is a different F distribution for every:
combination of sample size and number of samples.
Ultimately, having less variability within-groups will:

A professor wants to know whether critical-thinking skills change as a student progresses through college. He compares critical-thinking skills for a group of 100 students at three time points: during the students' first semester, fifth semester, and eighth semester. Students in their first semester have an average score of 56.5, students in their fifth semester have an average score of 58, and students in their eighth semester have an average score of 60. Given MSwithin= 82, what is the Tukey HSD value for the comparison between first-semester students and eighth-semester students?
-3.87 FORMULA: SM= √ (MS within/N) HDS = (M1 - M2) / sm

Tiffany is interested in the effects of different kinds of instructions on exam performance. She asks 60 college freshmen to study regularly for an upcoming exam, which they will have 1 hour to take.
