Quiz | Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) /26 71 Quiz | Analysis of Variance 1 / 26 Which of the following would NOT cause F to increase? An increase in the magnitude of the independent variable's effect An increase in the difference between the means A decrease in the within groups variability An increase in the within groups variability 2 / 26 What is the primary advantage of conducting a two-way ANOVA instead of separate one-way ANOVAs for each factor? Enhanced ease of data interpretation Efficiency and the ability to investigate interactions between factors Greater sensitivity to small effects Reduced computational complexity 3 / 26 What is the primary goal of the Levene test in ANOVA? To check for multicollinearity To assess the assumption of variance homogeneity To identify outliers To test the normality of the data 4 / 26 When is a one-way ANOVA typically used? When there is one nominal or ordinal independent variable and one metric dependent variable When there are multiple independent variables When the sample size is very small When there are three or more factor levels for a single factor 5 / 26 Which of the following research questions can be appropriately addressed with the help of an ANOVA? How important are brand, price, and availability for the choice of a car? How do sales change when the advertising budget is reduced by 10%? Does the color of an ad have an influence on the number of people who remember the ad? 6 / 26 When does ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) become important in practical applications? When there are no interactions between factors When there are only nominal independent variables When covariates (metrically scaled independent variables) need to be considered alongside nominal variables When the dataset is normally distributed 7 / 26 In the context of ANOVA, what does the F-statistic test? Whether the data is normally distributed. Whether the error is normally distributed. Whether the sample size is large enough. Whether the factor under consideration has an effect on the dependent variable. 8 / 26 What happens to the Sum of Squares within if you consider 2 instead of 3 (relevant) independent variables in an ANOVA? The SS within will decrease. The SS within will increase. The SS within will not change. 9 / 26 In the context of ANOVA, what are covariates? Nominal independent variables Dependent variables Categorical independent variables Metrically scaled independent variables 10 / 26 What does the Levene test assess in ANOVA? The assumption of variance homogeneity among groups Whether there is multicollinearity among independent variables The normality of the dependent variable's distribution The presence of outliers in the dataset 11 / 26 What is the purpose of a post-hoc test in the context of a two-way ANOVA? To identify which factor levels are significantly different from each other after a significant F-test result To investigate interactions between factors To calculate the total variation in the data To confirm that both factors have a significant effect on the dependent variable 12 / 26 What is the primary reason for conducting Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)? To identify outliers in the dataset To examine whether there are significant differences between group means To test for multicollinearity in independent variables To confirm the normal distribution of data 13 / 26 Which method is appropriate when the dependent variable is metric and the independent variables are nominal? Logistic regression Regression analysis Analysis of variance (ANOVA Discriminant analysis 14 / 26 What does a high eta-squared value in an ANOVA test indicate? The factor under consideration has a significant effect on the dependent variable. Variance within the groups is not homogeneous. The null hypothesis is true. The factor under consideration has no effect on the dependent variable. 15 / 26 What does ANOVA stand for? Analysis of Variance Association of Numerous Variables and Outcomes Analysis of Variability and Averages Advanced Numeric Observation and Validation Analysis 16 / 26 Which of the following is NOT a step in the classical F-test used in ANOVA? Calculating the F-statistic Comparing the empirical F-value with the theoretical F-value Formulating the null hypothesis Calculating eta-squared 17 / 26 What is variance homogeneity in ANOVA? It refers to the assumption that the dependent variable is normally distributed. It assumes that the variances within the groups are approximately equal. It tests whether the F-statistic is significant. It means that all factor levels have equal means. 18 / 26 In an ANOVA, what does the systematic component of the model represent? Effect of the independent variable The total variation in the data Random variations within groups Measurement errors and unconsidered variables 19 / 26 In the context of ANOVA, what are independent variables with multiple levels often referred to as? Scores Criteria Categories Factors 20 / 26 What is the primary purpose of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)? To analyze the variance within a single group of data To determine whether there are differences between multiple groups To measure the standard deviation within a group To calculate the mean of a single group 21 / 26 Which of the following best describes the purpose of an experimental design in an ANOVA? To make sure that the dependent variable remains constant across groups To ensure that the groups being compared are intentionally equal To create groups that are representative for a broader population To systematically vary independent variables and measure their effects 22 / 26 What is eta-squared in ANOVA used to measure? The total variation within a dataset Measurement errors in the data Effect size The total mean of the population 23 / 26 To determine the main effects in a two-way ANOVA, which calculation is used? Deviation of cell (i.e., group) means from the total mean Variance decomposition of the error term Sum of squares between the groups Calculation of partial eta-squared values 24 / 26 What is the difference between a 2-way ANOVA and an ANCOVA? A 2-way ANOVA considers two categorical independent variables, while in an ANCOVA you also consider metric variables. A 2-way ANOVA considers two metric independent variables, while in an ANCOVA you also consider categorical variables. There is no difference. 25 / 26 In the context of a two-way ANOVA, what does "interaction effects" refer to? The influence of random variation in the data. The combined influence of both factors on the dependent variable. The effect of one factor when the other is held constant. The extent to which the mean values of one factor depend on the levels of the other factor. 26 / 26 What is the null hypothesis of the Levene's test? The error variance of the dependent variable is equal across groups. The error variance of the independent variable is unequal across groups. The error variance of the dependent variable is unequal across groups. The error variance of the independent variable is equal across groups.
