A researcher for Major League Baseball is interested in visual accuracy of the players. The indicators of visual accuracy are batting average (high vs. low) and a computer "flicker" program that indicates changes in either the central or the noncentral region of a scene. The dependent variable is the time it takes to notice a change during flickers. When the researcher looks at a table of means, the data show that central flicker and high batting average = 40; noncentral flicker and high batting average = 20; central flicker and low batting average = 20; and noncentral flicker and low batting average = 40. Assuming a very powerful statistical test, the researcher should find: Question options: a) no main effects but a significant interaction. b) no main effects and no interaction. c) a main effect for "flicker" type. d) a main effect for batting average.

A student researcher conducts a study that is analyzed using a two-way between-groups ANOVA. Unfortunately, none of the three F statistics were statistically significant.
