The three treatments in the experiment define three populations of interest. You use an ANOVA to test the hypothesis that the three population means are equal. Present the results of your analysis in the following ANOVA table by entering the missing df values df and selecting the correct values for the missing SS, MS and  F entries. (Note: For best results, retain at least two additional points throughout your calculations. Depending on the order in which  you do these calculations and the number of digits you retain, you may find slight rounding differences in the last digit between your answers and the answer choices"

QUESTION 3

Ethel is interested in two methods of note-taking strategies and the effect of these strategies on the overall GPAs of college freshmen. She believes that men would benefit most from Method 1, while women would benefit most from Method 2. After obtaining 30 men and 30 women volunteers in freshmen orientation, she randomly assigns 10 men and 10 women to Method 1, 10 men and 10 women to Method 2, and 10 men and 10 women to a control condition. During the first month of the spring semester individuals in the two note-taking method groups receive daily instruction on the particular note-taking method to which they were assigned. The control group receives no note-taking instruction. Fall and spring GPAs for all participants are recorded and a score that is the difference between the spring and fall semester GPAs is calculated.

Below are the results from running a two-way ANOVA. Please answer the following:

  1. What is the dependent variable? (0.5 marks)

  2. What are the independent variables (factors)? (0.5 marks)

  3. What is the research question(s) being addressed? (1 mark)

  4. What does the descriptive statistics (graphical) tell us about the effects under study?

    (1 mark)

  5. What assumptions are being tested in the R output? Are these assumptions met? Please

    provide statistical evidence. (2 marks)

  6. What effects are being tested in the R output? (1 mark)

  7. What does output from the ANOVA table tell us? (1 mark)

  8. What type of follow-up analyses was conducted and why? Please interpret. (2 marks)

One marketing strategy used by several companies is to send personalized emails or newsletters to their customers to encourage them to buy their product. However, the opening rate of these emails is very low when the targeted customers do not feel concerned by the email. This article 1 (https://www.crop.ca/en/blog/2019/258/) will allow us to answer the following questions. Here’s an excerpt from the article :

« A quick Google search for email and newsletter opening rates leads to dozens of sources, with rates ranging from 15% to 45%. Some even claim that opening rates higher than 25% are a resounding success. But seriously, can brands afford such poor performances ? And most importantly, why are opening rates so low ?

We asked the main stakeholders : consumers. 2,189 Canadians were ques- tioned about their attitudes and behaviours regarding branded newsletters and emails. The results follow. Of all branded communications received personally, Canadians report an average opening rate of 45%. »

(a) Do the results from the survey in the article in reference allow us to affirm that on average, Canadian consumers open more than 25 % of business communications sent by email and newsletters ? Suppose that the standard deviation in the population is 20 %. Use a significance level of α = 0, 05.

(b) From what average sample rate do we reject the null hypothesis of the test carried out in (a) ?
