A clinical trial is run to assess the effects of different forms of regular exercise on resting heart rate (RHR) in persons between the ages of 18 and 29. Participants in the study are randomly assigned to one of three exercise groups - weight training, aerobic exercise, or stretching/yoga - and instructed to follow the program for eight weeks. Their RHR is measured after eight weeks and is summarized below: Exercise Group | N | Mean | Std Dev Weight Training | 20 | 70.3 | 7.2 Aerobic Exercise | 20 | 60.1 | 3.5 Stretching/Yoga | 20 | 66.4 | 5.4 If the data is non-normal, which of the following tests would be the most appropriate? A. Mann-Whitney U Test B. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test C. Spearman's Rho D. Kruskal-Wallis Test

An exercise scientist wants to assess whether there are differences among joggers of different age groups. He measures the speed of 6 25-34 year olds, 6 35-44 year olds, and 6 45-54 year olds and finds the following mean speeds: 25-34 M = 7.21, 35-44 M = 7.07, 45-54 M = 5.43. The sums of squares were as follows: SS between = 11.79; SS within = 5.58. Test at alpha of .05 whether there were age differences in running speed, including specifically which groups differed from one another and the direction of those differences. State which statistical test you should use (e.g., 2 X 4 factorial ANOVA, one-way ANOVA). Show the value of the obtained inferential statistic (e.g., F = 2.17), the degrees of freedom and the critical value(s) from the relevant table(s), and state whether you should reject or accept the null hypothesis. Calculate effect size when applicable. Then explain, in non-statistical language (completely in layperson’s terms) what the practical conclusion of your analysis is.
