Question:

a. how many unpaired two-sample t-tests will she need to conduct?
b. what would be her experimentwise Type I error if she makes each test have an α value of .05?
c. what would be her testwise Type I error if she performs a Bonferroni correction in order to maintain the experimentwise Type I error rate at .05?
d. what would be her testwise Type I error if she performs a Bonferroni correction in order to maintain the experimentwise Type I error rate at .01?
e. What would be the advantages of performing an ANOVA compared to performing a number of unpaired two-sample t-tests?
