7. If I am not at all concerned with controlling for experimentwise error which one of the four post hoc tests
below would you use.

Viagra is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. An experiment was done to test the impact of Viagra on
libido. Fifteen subjects were randomly assigned to three groups with 5 people in each group. One group was
administered a placebo, on group a low dose of Viagra and one group a high dose of Viagra. The dependent
variable was a measure of libido over a one week time period with the higher the number the greater the
libido. The data for the problem are presented below.

(3 points) Conduct a one-way anova, paste the anova output just below here and answer that output to answer
the following questions.

1. (1)What is the variance of the three group means?___________

2. (1)What is the average variance within each group?__________
3. (1)How many degrees of freedom are in any one group?_______
4. (1)Is this independent variable a between groups IV or a within groups IV?__________
5. (2)Calculate omega squared for the data and show your work.

6. (2)Calculate Cohens f show your work.

7. Refer to the viagra study. Conduct subsequent comparisons of the means using Tukey,

Neuman Keuls, LSD and Bonferroni. Rank order the means and calculate the differences
between the means as we did in all of our examples. Make sure you clearly present what
the critical difference(s) for significance are for each test. Also for each test be sure to
explicitly state which means are different and in what direction.

(3 points) Put the results (critical differences needed for significance and what means are

different from each other and in what direction) for Tukey below.
Tukey=q x SQRT (MSerror/n)

(3 points) Put the results (critical differences needed for significance and what means are
different from each other and in what direction) for Neuman Keuls below.

(3 points) Put the results (critical differences needed for significance and what means are
different from each other and in what direction) for LSD below.

(3 points) Put the results for (critical differences needed for significance and what means
are different from each other and in what direction) Bonferroni below.
