WEB CALCULATOR EXERCISE 5


ANOVAs
1. A researcher is interested in comparing the effectiveness of three different kinds of therapy
for anger problems. Eight participants are randomly assigned to three treatment conditions:
Cognitive Therapy (CT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Interpersonal Therapy
(IT). All participants complete the weekly treatment for 8 weeks. Participants take an anger
test before and after the 8-week treatments. Each participants difference score (= anger score
after the treatment minus () anger score before the treatment) is shown in the following
table. The three therapists in this experiment have equal educational levels and clinical
experiences.

2. A teacher is interested in comparing the effects of three different types of rehearsal methods
(Rote rehearsal, Imagery, and Story) on number of words recalled. Participants are randomly
assigned into three different groups. In each group, participants are asked to study a list of
words using the assigned method. The following table shows the result.

3. A professor is interested in whether there is a difference in counseling students statistics


competency scores among 1) those who have never taken any statistics course, 2) those who
have only taken an undergraduate statistics course, 3) those who have taken COUN 503, and
4) those who have taken an advanced statistic course while working on a Ph. D. The
professor gathers information from a random sample of students and obtains the statistics
competency scores. The scores are normally distributed.
