Transcript text: A researcher calculates a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA and finds $F(3,13)=3.5$. Based on their results, which is true? At a $p$ level of 0.05 , they can reject the null hypothesis. At a $p$ level of 0.01 , they can reject the null hypothesis. At a $p$ level of 0.05 , they will fail to reject the null hypothesis. They should fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the p-value

The researcher calculated the F-statistic for a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA as \( F(3, 13) = 3.5 \). To determine the significance of this result, we calculated the p-value associated with this F-statistic and its degrees of freedom. The calculated p-value is:

\[ p \approx 0.0467 \]

Step 2: Compare p-value with Significance Levels

Next, we compare the calculated p-value with the significance levels of \( \alpha = 0.05 \) and \( \alpha = 0.01 \):

  1. For \( \alpha = 0.05 \):

    • Since \( p \approx 0.0467 < 0.05 \), we can reject the null hypothesis.
  2. For \( \alpha = 0.01 \):

    • Since \( p \approx 0.0467 > 0.01 \), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Final Answer

Based on the results:

  • At a \( p \) level of \( 0.05 \), they can reject the null hypothesis.
  • At a \( p \) level of \( 0.01 \), they will fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, the correct conclusions are:

  • At \( \alpha = 0.05 \): Reject the null hypothesis.
  • At \( \alpha = 0.01 \): Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The answer is: \(\boxed{\text{At a } p \text{ level of } 0.05, \text{ they can reject the null hypothesis; at a } p \text{ level of } 0.01, \text{ they will fail to reject the null hypothesis.}}\)
