An experiment was done to look at whether there is an effect of the number of hours spent practising a musical instrument and gender on the level of musical ability. A sample of 30 (15 men and 15 women) participants who had never learnt to play a musical instrument before were recruited. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups that varied in the number of hours they would spend practising every day for 1 year (0 hours, 1 hours, 2 hours). Men and women were divided equally across groups. All participants had a one-hour lesson each week over the course of the year, after which their level of musical skill was measured on a 10-point scale ranging from 0 (you can’t play for toffee) to 10 (‘Are you Mozart reincarnated?’). Which of the following sentences regarding the

ANOVA output below is correct?





A. Practicing for 2 hours per day significantly increased skill level compared to when only 1 hour was spent practising per day.
