ANOVA data interpretation from SPSS: FOX news watching & politics:

A researcher wants to know whether there are significant differences between a person's political affiliations and how many times a month they watch the FOX news network. Look at the following one-way ANOVA data tables and answer the following questions:

ANOVA
DVAR: Fox News Viewing
	Sum of Squares	df	Mean Square	F	Sig.
Between Groups	25486.191	2	12743.096	161.14	.002
Within Groups	49106.807	621	79.077
Total	74592.998	623

Descriptives
DVAR: Fox News Viewing
	N	Mean	Std. Deviation	Std. Error	95% Confidence Interval for Mean
	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
Liberal	321	2.40	6.170	.344	1.72	3.07
Moderate	163	7.42	10.280	.805	5.83	9.01
Conservative	140	18.56	11.936	1.009	16.57	20.56
Total	624	7.33	10.942	.438	6.47	8.20

1) Please state the Research (H1) and Null (H0) Hypotheses in this problem (2 Points)

H1:

H0:

2) What is the value of the F Test Statistic above? (1 Point) - See the ANOVA table above

3) If the Critical Value is 5.98, can we reject the null with at least 95% confidence, based on the F Test Statistic? If so, what does this tell us about these three groups? (3 Points)

For the remainder of the questions, use the data in the "Descriptives" table to justify your answers.

4) If you were to combine all three groups together, what would be the mean number of how many times people in this sample watched Fox news in a month? (1 Point) What would be the value of the confidence interval if all groups were combined together? (2 Points)

5) Should the entire sample be combined into one group, or would doing that cause us to miss that some of these groups are uniquely different from one another? Explain why you feel that way (3 Points)

6) Looking at this data, which group looks like it scores significantly higher than all of the others, and what is their average amount of Fox News viewing a month? (2 Points) What is the confidence interval value for that group mean? (2 Points)

7) According to the data, which group scores the lowest, and what is their average amount of Fox News viewing? (2 Points) What is the confidence interval value for that group mean? (2 Points)
