In the 2*4 ANOVA, the F value for Art Medium was FA=8.8, indicating a significant difference in the Time it took to produce works of art using different media. The F value for Size of the art work was FB=1.2, indicating a non significant finding. The interaction also was non significant. What was the dependent variable?

B. time
C. size
D. quality

Answer 1

In this experiment, the dependent variable is the outcome that is measured. In line with the information given, what is being affected by the different mediums and sizes of the artwork is the time it took to produce works of art. As it is stated that there is a significant difference in time, it is clear that the time is dependent on the chosen medium for the work of art. Therefore, the dependent variable in this experiment is time. The correct answer is B. time.
