Question

Which of the following F values, if obtained from an experiment, would lead to rejecting the null hypothesis if a = .01?

Group of answer choices F = 5.00, df = 3,18; F = 4.08, df = 3,8; none of the descriptive alternatives are correct. F = 150.00, df = 1,1;

Answer 1

from excel:

for 1st choice ; p value =fdist(5,3,18)= 0.0107

for 2nd choice : p value =fdist(4.08,3,8)=0.0496

for 3rd choice : p value =fdist(150,1,1)=0.052

since none of choices have p vlaue less than 0.01 ; none of these would lead to reject null

Correct option is:none of the descriptive alternatives are correct
