    What is one-way ANOVA?

    Used to compare means across three or more groups.

    When should one-way ANOVA be used?

    When comparing more than two groups or conditions.

    How does one-way ANOVA differ from t-tests?

    T-tests compare only two groups, while ANOVA handles three or more.

    What do descriptive statistics do?

    Summarize known data from a sample.

    What is the purpose of inferential statistics?

    To make predictions or test hypotheses about a population.

    What is a dependent variable?

    The outcome measured in an experiment.

    What is an independent variable?

    The factor manipulated to observe its effect.

    What happens if you use t-tests for more than two groups?

    Increased risk of Type I error due to multiple comparisons.

    What is an example of a situation for one-way ANOVA?

    Comparing memory performance across different age groups.

    What are the two types of one way ANOVA?

    Within-participants and between-participants designs.

    What defines within-participants ANOVA?

    Participants experience all levels of the independent variable.

    What defines between-participants ANOVA?

    Each participant is assigned to only one level of the independent variable.

    How does ANOVA assess variance?

    It compares variance between groups to variance within groups.

    What does a higher F ratio indicate in ANOVA?

    A larger difference between group variance compared to within-group variance.

    What is the null hypothesis (H0) in ANOVA?

    The means of all groups are equal.

    What does a small p-value suggest in hypothesis testing?

    Strong evidence against the null hypothesis.

    What is the implication of a p-value greater than 0.05?

    Insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

    What is the significance of sample size in p-value interpretation?

    Larger samples can yield small p-values even for trivial effects.

    What distinguishes within and between participant factors?

    Within factors involve repeated measures; between factors involve independent measures.

    What is the formula for between-group degrees of freedom in ANOVA?

    k - 1, where k is the number of groups.

    What is the formula for within-group degrees of freedom in ANOVA?

    N - k, where N is the total number of observations.

    What does a significant ANOVA result indicate?

    There is a difference between the conditions tested.

    What is the purpose of post hoc tests after ANOVA?

    To identify where the differences between groups lie.
