C13. In Chapter 4’s Statistics in Practice, we reviewed Myron Pope’s 2002 research on community college mentoring. Pope compared responses from four groups of minority students, measuring their perception of multilevel mentoring at their school. Student responses were based on a 5-point scale: 1 = no agreement to 5 = strong agreement.

Pope’s results are presented again with an additional column of F test and significance.

1. What are the degrees of freedom for the models?
2. Based on an alpha of .05, assess each model. What do you conclude?
