A researcher conducts two studies on child health. In Study 1, 30 children consume either a low-, moderate-, or high-fat meal (n = 10 per group). In Study 2, the researcher conducts the same study, except that a No Meal control group is added, with n = 10 in each group.

Study 2 c. both d. none
b. Study 2
A researcher conducts two studies using the one-way between-subjects ANOVA.

Study 2 c. there is not enough information to answer this question
b. Study 2
