(a) For each response variable, state whether or not it is reasonable to use a pooled standard deviation to analyze these data. Give reasons for your answer.
(b) Give the degrees of freedom for the F statistics and find the associated P-values. Summarize what you can conclude from these ANOVA analyses.
(c) Summarize the means, paying particular attention to similarities and differences across cultures and across variables. Include the means from the previous exercise in your summary.
(d) The European American and Asian American subjects were from the University of Illinois, the Japanese subjects were from two universities in Tokyo, the Indian subjects were from eight universities in or near Kolkata, and the Hispanic American subjects were from California State University at Fresno. Participants were paid $25 or an equivalent monetary incentive for the Japanese and Indians. Ads were posted on or near the campuses to recruit volunteers for the study.
