CLARIFYING THE CONCEPTS

Question 12.57

1. Explain why we cannot conclude, based on the ANOVA results alone, that one particular population mean differs from another. (p. 686)

12.2.1

ANOVA only tests for whether or not all of the population means are equal. It does not test for which pairs of means are not equal.

Question 12.58

2. Clarify why we do not perform multiple comparisons if we did not reject the null hypothesis in the original ANOVA. (p. 686)

Question 12.59

3. What is a pairwise comparison? Explain how we calculate how many pairwise comparisons there are. (p. 686)

12.2.3

It is performing a hypothesis test to determine whether two means are different. , where is the number of populations.

Question 12.60

4. What do we mean by experimentwise error rate? (p. 686)

Question 12.61

5. How does the Bonferroni adjustment correct for the greater size of the experimentwise error rate? (p. 686)

12.2.5

By multiplying the of each pairwise hypothesis test by the number of comparisons being made

Question 12.62

6. What do we do if the Bonferroni adjustment results in an adjusted -value greater than 1? Why must we do this? (p. 686)

Question 12.63

7. What are the requirements for performing multiple comparisons using either the Bonferroni method or Tukey's test? (pp. 687-688)

12.2.7

The requirements for ANOVA have been met and the null hypothesis that the population means are all equal has been rejected.

Question 12.64

8. What is the rejection rule for using confidence intervals to perform Tukey's test? (p. 689)
