A student's course grade is based on one midterm that counts as % of his final grade, one class project that counts as % of his final grade, a set of homework assignments that counts as % of his final grade, and a final exam that counts as % of his final grade. His midterm score is , his project score is , his homework score is , and his final exam score is .
What is his overall final score?
What letter grade did he earn(A, B, C, D, or F)?
(Assume that a mean of 90 or above is an A, a mean of at least 80 but less than 90 is a B, and so on.)

Hypothesis testing with ANOVA opinions about whether caffeine enhances test performance differ. You design a study to test the impact of drinks with different caffeine contents on students' test-taking abilities. You choose 21 students at random from your introductory psychology course to participate in your study. You randomly assign each student to one of three drinks, each with a different caffeine concentration, such that there are seven students assigned to each drink. You then give each of them a plain capsule containing the precise quantity of caffeine that would be consumed in their designated drink and have them take an arithmetic test 15 minutes later.
The students receive the following arithmetic test scores:
| Cola | Black Tea | Coffee | ||
| Caffeine Content (mg/oz) | 2.9 | 5.9 | 13.4 | |
| 85 | 85 | 92 | ∑X2 = 147,641 | |
| 86 | 89 | 87 | G = 1,755 | |
| 82 | 82 | 80 | N = 21 | |
| 75 | 75 | 89 | k = 3 | |
| 66 | 88 | 96 | ||
| 78 | 76 | 83 | ||
| 87 | 82 | 92 | ||
| T1 = 559 | T2 = 559 | T3 = 559 | ||
| SS1 = 338.86 | SS2 = 338.86 | SS3 = 338.86 | ||
| n1 = 7 | n2 = 7 | n3 = 7 | ||
| M1 = 79.8571 | M2 = 79.8571 | M3 = 79.8571 |
1.) You plan to use an ANOVA to test the impact of drinks with different caffeine contents on students' test-taking abilities. What is the null hypothesis?
(a) The population mean test score for the cola population is different from the population mean test score for the black tea population.
(b) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are equal.
(c) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are different.
(d) The population mean test scores for all three treatments are not all equal.
2.) Calculate the degrees of freedom and the variances for the following ANOVA table:
| Source | SS | df | MS |
| Between | - | - | - |
| Within | 702.28 | - | - |
| Total | 973.14 | - |
The formula for the F-ratio is:
3.) Using words, the formula of the F-ratio can be written as:
4.) Using the data from the ANOVA table given, the F-ratio can be written as:

(a)You can reject the null hypothesis; you do not have enough evidence to say that caffeine affects test performance.
(b)You cannot reject the null hypothesis; caffeine does appear to affect test performance.
(c)You cannot reject the null hypothesis; you do not have enough evidence to say that caffeine affects test performance.
(d)You can reject the null hypothesis; caffeine does appear to affect test performance.
