Question

conclusions Report on the effect size using eta-squared. Construct a confidence interval for the true mean difference. 2. A study was done looking at the number of pounds participants lost after six months of a weight loss program. Program A was diet only, Program B was diet and exercise, and Program C was exercise only. The dependent variable was the number of pounds lost. Analyze the data below using a oneway ANOVA. Display your results in an ANOVA table. Perform a Tukey post hoc size using eta-squared. What do you conclude about the effectiveness of the three weight loss programs? test for all pairwise comparisons. Indicate the effect Program A Program B Program C 13 10 23 14 12 21 15 4 15 18

Means for groups in homogeneous subsets are displayed.

The results indicate that there exists a significant difference in the three weight loss programs. Program A and B are said to be the most effective as the maximum weight loss has occurred in the individuals who were in these two programs. Individuals in Program C have lost the minimum weight.
