Use the Following Information to Answer the Question $= 2063.33$ Variation Within Groups

question 42

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question. Researchers want to test whether the color of a vehicle ticketed for
speeding has an effect on the amount of the ticket. Four vehicle colors were used for the study--red, white, black, and silver.
Thirty vehicles were randomly assigned to each group. Use the output below to answer the question. One-way ANOVA
Variation between groups $= 2063.33$
Variation within groups $= 196.25$
$\mathrm { p } = 4.5985705 \mathrm { E } - 4$
-Choose the correct conclusion for the hypothesis that vehicle color affects the amount of a speeding ticket. Assume all ANOVA test conditions have been satisfied.

• A) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\). The vehicle color has no effect on the amount of the speeding ticket.
• B) Fail to reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\). The vehicle color has an effect on the amount of the speeding ticket.
• C) Fail to reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\). The vehicle color has no effect on the amount of the speeding ticket.
• D) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\). The vehicle color has an effect on the amount of the speeding ticket.

Definitions:

Conditioned Response

A learned reaction to a specific stimulus that results from repeated exposure to that stimulus paired with a particular response.

Classical Conditioning

A learning paradigm wherein two stimuli are continuously paired together; initially, the response comes from the second stimulus, but later, the first stimulus can independently provoke the response.

Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)

In classical conditioning, an automatically eliciting stimulus that leads to an unconditioned response without prior conditioning.

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

In classical conditioning, a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, evokes a conditioned response.
