He decides to run a 2X2 ANOVA to examine the differences between what quality attracts people more( personality/looks) and whether gender (male/female) impacts the difference anwer the following questions

Answer 1

Answer

(A) Using the given data table, F statistic is 0.036 with p value = 0.849

(B) Since the p value is less than 0.05 significance level, which means result is significant. Therefore, we can say that researcher can reject the null hypothesis (based on independent samples t test and p value).

(C) Yes, because the p value is less than significance level, which means we can reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that there is significant difference between the means for males and females based on the independent sampples t test assuming equal variances as well as unequal variances
