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