The following data are from a repeated-measures study comparing three treatment conditions.
a. Use a repeated-measures ANOVA with
b. Double the number of scores in each treatment by simply repeated the original scores in each treatment a second time. For example, the
the SS value for each treatment. For the new data, use a repeated-measures ANOVA with

Answer to Problem 17P
Solution:
There is significant difference between the three treatments, the effect size is 0.8485, and doubling the sample size alters the F ratio but the effect size remains same.
Explanation of Solution
Information given:
Let t denote number of treatments
S denote numbers of subjects
N denote total number of subjects in all treatments
We got t = 3
S = 4
N = 12

Formula used:
Formula of effect size:
Calculations:
Answer to part a:
Fcritical value for df between 2 and df error 6 for alpha = 0.05 is: 5.14
Inference: Since F statistic 16.77 is greater than F critical 5.14, this implies that there is significant difference in the treatments
Effect size:
Answer to part b:
K = 3 since the treatments are three
F critical, for df between = 2, and df within = 14 for alpha = 0.05 is 3.74
Inference: Since F statistic 179.0210 is greater than F critical 3.74, this implies that there is significant difference in the treatments
Answer to part c:
The if the sample size is doubled the F ratio's value increases further, but the effect size does not alter
Conclusion:
Thus we conclude that the treatments have a significant effect, and the effect size remains same even if the sample size is doubled.
Justification:
This process of repeated measures of ANOVA is applied because there are 3 groups and we need to compare the mean of the same characteristic in the three groups. ANOVA is used to compare means of multiple groups together. It lets us know if there is significant difference between the means of 3 different treatments.
