The following hypothetical data are scores on a test that measures a person's attitudes toward fate. (An example of such a test is Rotter's internal-external scale.) A high score indicates that the person views fate as being out of his or her control. Low scores indicate that he or she feels directly responsible for what happens. Calculate an ANOVA and test for differences among the three social classes. Calculate f. Calculate a HSD and a d value for the two samples with the most different attitude toward fate. Write a verbal description of what your analyses show.  Lower Class  Middle Class  Upper Class 121361045119896271223101\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Lower Class } & \text { Middle Class } & \text { Upper Class } \\\hline 12 & 13 & 6 \\10 & 4 & 5 \\11 & 9 & 8 \\9 & 6 & 2 \\7 & 12 & 2 \\3 & 10 & 1\end{array} Fill in: Independent variable: ____________Dependent variable: __________

In order to determine the effect of school size on subsequent academic performance, 20 graduating seniors who had gone on to college were chosen from each of four high schools that had graduating classes of 50, 250, 500, and 2000. Mean college grade points were calculated for each high school, α\alpha was set at .05, and an ANOVA was run, producing an F = 2.75. From this you can conclude that


A) H0 should be rejected
B) H0 should be retained
C) more information is needed in order to decide about the null hypothesis, namely .
