Q1) Bandura, Blanchard, and Ritter (1969) conducted an experiment that provided individuals with one of four treatments for their intense fear of snakes. One group worked with a model - a person who handled a 4-foot king snake and encouraged others to imitate her. One group watched a film of adults and children who enjoyed progressively closer contact with a king snake. A third group received desensitization therapy, and a fourth group served as a control, receiving no treatment. The numbers of snake-approach responses after treatment are listed in the table. A higher number of snake-approach responses indicates that the individual was willing to approach a snake more often.

Perform a hypothesis test to determine if there is a significant difference between the groups in the number of snake-approach responses. Show all necessary components of a full hypothesis test, including a source table.
Q2) What is the effect size for this result? Is this a large effect?
Q3) An employer wants to know what types of activities encourage her employees to exercise. The first month, she gave out information on the health benefits of exercise; the second, she sent daily emails encouraging physical activity; and in the third month, she gave health insurance bonuses for amount of exercise. She recorded the number of times 4 of her employees exercised in each of the three months. Can she determine if there is a significant difference in the number of days exercised between the three types of activities? Again, show all necessary components of a hypothesis test, including a source table.

Q7) What type of ANOVA is the source table in #6 for?
Q8) What is the main factor that differentiates whether you should calculate a t statistic or an F statistic?
Q9) How many types of ANOVA have we covered? What feature or features distinguish between them?
Q10) Look back to the graphic you created to help you choose which z or t test to use (or use one of the graphics from the answer key). Modify the graphic to include the different types of ANOVA from this unit.
