Indah conducted an experiment to determine the effects of professor (Prof. Halgren, an indifferent professor who didn't care about student achievement; Prof. Wurmkiln, a harsh professor who punished students with draconian zeal for mild errors; and Prof. Baxter, widely renowned as a charming, witty, funny professor with much compassion his students and interest in their progress) and time (Time 1, beginning of the semester; Time 2, middle of the semester; and Time 3, end of the semester) had an impact on students' confidence in their statistics competency [1(no confidence at all) to 10(considers oneself a genius in statistics)]. They gathered data from 30 participants, 10 from each class, and measured their participants' statistics confidence at three time points across the semester. Indah then conducted a 3x3 mixed factorial ANOVA on her data. Below are the results of their analysis:
How do you know if the assumption of homogeneity of variance for each level of Time been violated or met? How do you determine such?
Which simple effect(s) is/are non-significant?
What would a full results report for Indah's findings look like?
