14. Foofy obtained a significant Fobt from an experiment with five levels. She therefore concludes that changing each condition of the independent variable. (a) Is she Correct? Why or why not? (b) What must she do now?
She is not correct since a significant F indicates at least one of the independent variable could results in significant changes in the dependent variable. Therefore, in this case, she needs to perform posthoc test to figure out which independent variables could contribute significant changes in the dependent variable.
16. A report says that the between-subjects factor of participants' salary produced significant differences in self-esteem. (a) What does this tell you about the design? (b) What does it tell you about the results?
This tells us that the design could produce significant differences in self-esteem. It tells us that the results are significant between different groups of participants' salary.

Measures of Central Tendency
Tests knowledge of the three main measures of central tendency, including some simple calculation questions.
Know Your Statistical Concepts
Each question is a choice-summary multiple choice question that presents you with a statistical concept and then 4 numbered statements. You must decide which (if any) of the numbered statements is/are true as they relate to the statistical concept.
Measures of Central Tendency
This quiz evaluates the students understanding of the measures of central tendency seen in statistics. This quiz is specifically designed to incorporate the measures of central tendency as they relate to psychological research.
