1. Examine the 95% confidence intervals for the mean scores for each university. Based on these, are there any statistically significant differences in mean scores between the universities? 2. The effect sizes (Cohen's d) between the university means were as follows: A and B = 0.02; A and C = 0.17; B and C = 0.14. Using Cohen's conventions, are these small, medium or large effect sizes? 3. Based on your knowledge of statistical power, how confident are you in the interpretation of the following results? What is required to improve the power of this study? (F(df=232) = 0.601; p = 0.549). Post hoc analysis found no difference between all pair combinations of universities p > 0.05.
