Exercise 36 Answers 1. Since the F value is significant‚ based on the p-value of 0.005 which is less than 0.05 which is sufficient to reject the null hypothesis. This suggests that there is a difference in the control and treatment groups. 2. Since the p- value is less than 0.05 and therefor the null hypothesis can be rejected. This presents that the mean‚ difficulty and mobility scores‚ must be different 3. The result was statistically significant with a probability score of p < 0.001.

The researchers found a significant difference between the two groups (control and treatment) for change in mobility of the women with osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 weeks with the results of F (1‚ 22) = 9.619‚ p = 0.005. Discuss each aspect of these results. Answer: The F value suggests there is a significant difference between the results of the control and treatment groups. The P-value of 0.005 is < the alpha of 0.05.This suggest that the groups are significantly
