A between-group factorial ANOVA compares the mean values of more than two groups and more than two factors. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient measures the relationship between two variables. In this assignment, you will review the SPSS output for a factorial ANOVA and use it to answer questions about the groups. You will also review the SPSS output to determine if a correlation exists between the variables.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • Download the document “SPSS Data Set Legend” for use with this assignment.
  • Download the document “Module 7 ANOVA SPSS Output” for use with this assignment.
  • Download the document “Module 7 Pearson SPSS Output” for use with this assignment.
  • Access the PSY-845 folder on the DC Network at https://dc.gcu.edu/documents/tools/researchtools/statistical-research-folder/psy870multivariatestatistics/psy8453adoctoralstatistics helpful information.

Directions:

Review the SPSS output file which reports the results of the between-group (independent group) factorial ANOVA to see if the mean alcohol by volume (%) differs as a function of rating given by beer expert (IV 1) and/or recommendation made by a beer connoisseur magazine (IV 2). Answer the following questions based on your observations of the SPSS output file:

  1. Is the mean alcohol by volume level different for the type of rating given by the beer expert (main effect of IV1)? What are F-value and the significance level for this test (write result using the following notation: F(df1, df2) = _____, p = _____).
  2. Is the mean alcohol by volume level different for the type of recommendation given by the beer magazine? What are F-value and the significance level for this test (write result using following notation: F(df1, df2) = _____, p = _____).
  3. Is the mean alcohol by volume level different for different combinations of expert rating and magazine recommendation (interaction term)? What are F-value and the significance level for this test (write result using following notation: F(df1, df2) = _____, p = _____).

Review the SPSS output file, which reports the results of computing the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient to examine the possible relationship between the number of calories in a brand of beer and its alcohol by volume. Answer the following questions based on your observations of the SPSS output file:

  1. Looking at the correlations table, what is the r-value for the correlation between these two variables?
  2. Is that r-value statistically significant? What is the 2-tailed significance?
  3. Write the results in the following format: r(df value) = ____, p = _____

PSY-845 SPSS Data Set Legend

Information has been gathered on 35 brands of wheat beer. Qualitative (categorical) information has been given codes. Information that is in numerical form (e.g., $ amount) does not need to be coded.

Here are all the types of information gathered on these beers:

  1. Product name (abbreviation of product’s brand name)
  2. Product ID code
  3. Rating assigned to the product by a taste expert for each brand

    1. Codes: Each brand is given a numerical ID, with 1 being the first one to 35 for the last one

    1. Codes: 1 = Very good

2 = Good

3 = Fair

  1. Recommended by leading beer connoisseur magazine?

    1. Codes: 0 = no

1 = yes

  1. Country of origin for each brand:

    1. Codes: 1 = USA

2 = Canada

3 = France

4 = Holland

5 = Mexico

6 = Germany

7 = Japan

  1. Availability in the USA for each brand

    1. Codes: 1 = National

2 = Regional

  1. Price per 6-pack for each brand (values are in US Dollars)
  2. Cost per 12 fluid ounces for each brand (values are in US Dollars)
  3. Calories per 12 fluid ounces
  4. Sodium per 12 fluid ounces for each brand (values are in milligrams, mg)
  5. Alcohol by volume for each brand (values are percents, %)
  6. Price class for each brand

    1. Codes: 0 = Not classified

1 = Super premium

2 = Premium

3 = Popular

  1. Regular or reduced calorie for each brand

    1. Codes: 0 = Regular

1 = Reduced calorie

  1. Number of US states in which brand was sold in 2008.
  2. Number of US states in which brand was sold in 2012.
