	a.	There was a statistically significant result for visual learning when compared with kinaesthetic learning.
	b.	There was a statistically significant result for auditory learning when compared with kinaesthetic learning.
	c.	There were no statistically significant results identified.
	d.	Both the visual and auditory learning styles were statistically significant when compared with kinaesthetic approach.

Answer 1

Answer:

Having run a simple contrast with the univariate test, interpret the following table and decide which of the following statements is most appropriate.

Level 1 refers to visual learning;

level 2 refers to auditory learning;

level 3 refers to kinaesthetic learning.

Answer: a.	There was a statistically significant result for visual learning when compared with kinaesthetic learning.
b	There was a statistically significant result for auditory learning when compared with kinaesthetic learning.
c	There were no statistically significant results identified.
d	Both the visual and auditory learning styles were statistically significant when compared with kinaesthetic approach.

Comparing level1 with level3 , calculated P=0.027 which is < 0.05 level of significance. This is statistically significant.

Comparing level2 with level3 , calculated P=0.998 which is > 0.05 level of significance. This is not statistically significant.
