The student welfare office was interested in trying to enhance students’ exam performance by investigating the effects of various interventions. They took five groups of students before their statistics exams and gave them one of five interventions: (1) a control group just sat in a room contemplating the task ahead; (2) the second group had a yoga class to relax them; (3) the third group were told they would get monetary rewards contingent upon the grade they received in the exam; (4) the fourth group were given beta-blockers to calm their nerves; and (5) the fifth group were encouraged to sit around winding each other up about how much revision they had/hadn’t done (a bit like what usually happens). The final percentage obtained in the exam was the dependent variable. Using the
critical values for F, how would you report the result in the table below? SS Df MS F Model 1213.6 4 303.4 12.43** Residual 707.9 29 21.4 Total 1921.5 33 A. Type of intervention had a significant effect on levels of exam performance, F(4, 29) = 12.43, p < .01. B. Type of intervention did not have a significant effect on levels of exam performance, F(4, 29) = 12.43, p > .05. C. Type of intervention did not have a significant effect on levels of exam performance, F(4, 33) = 12.43, p > .01. D. Type of intervention had a significant effect on levels of exam performance, F(4, 33) = 12.43, p < .01.
