3. In experimental design, a characteristic of the subjects that was present prior to the experiment and is not the
result of the experimenter’s manipulations or control is called a classification variable. . (√)
4. In experimental design, a variable that the experimenter controls or modifies in the experiment is called a
treatment variable. . (√)
6. Analysis of variance may be used to test the differences in the means of more than two independent
populations. . (√)
7. In analysis of variance tests a t distribution forms the basis for making the decisions. (×)
8. The statistical methods of analysis of variance assume that the populations are normally distributed. . (√)
9. The statistical methods of analysis of variance assume equal sample means. (×)
10. Determining the table value for the F distribution requires two values for degrees of freedom. . (√)
11. The Tukey-Kramer procedure is based on construction of confidence intervals for each pair of treatment
means at a time. (×)
12. The Tukey-Kramer procedure allows us to simultanesouly examine all pairs of population means after the
ANOVA test has been completed without increasing the trues α level. . (√)
13. A completely randomized design has been analyzed by using a one-way ANOVA. There are three treatment groups in
the design, and each sample size is four. The mean for group 1 is 25.00 and for group 3 it is 27.50. MSE is 3.19. Using
α=0.05 there is a significant difference between these two groups. (×)
14. In a randomized complete block design the conclusion might be that blocking is not necessary. . (√)
15. The F value for treatment will always increase if we include a blocking effect. (×)
16. Interaction effects in a factorial design can be analyzed in randomized block design. (×)
