Instructions: Follow along with the step-by-step instruction manual provided for the Week 7 assignment. The instruction manual will make specific reference to data interpretation questions that require written responses. Use this worksheet to answer these written response questions. Each question is listed below along with the number of points each question is worth toward the assignment. Type your response in the space provided below each question.
QUESTION 1 4 points
Based on the ANOVA output, was there a significant main effect of the weight status group on self-esteem scores? Indicate whether the F-ratio for the main effect of weight status was statistically significant or not, and report the F-ratio results in statistical notation.
QUESTION 2 4 points
Interpret the pattern of mean differences in self-esteem scores between the weight status groups. Did the results of the ANOVA support the research hypothesis for the main effect of the weight status group? (Research Hypothesis: Mnormal weight > Moverweight > Mobese)
QUESTION 3 4 points
Based on the ANOVA output, was there a significant main effect of sex on self-esteem scores? Indicate whether the F-ratio for the main effect of weight status was statistically significant or not, and report the F-ratio results in statistical notation.
QUESTION 4 4 points
Based on the ANOVA output, was there a significant weight status by sex interaction on self-esteem scores? Indicate whether the F-ratio for the interaction effect was statistically significant or not, and report the F-ratio results in statistical notation.
QUESTION 5 8 points
Interpret the pattern of results for interaction using the line plot, analyses of simple effects, and bar graph figure generated in the SPSS output. In your response, paste the bar chart figure showing the mean differences in self-esteem between sexes across weight status groups, and include an APA style title for the figure. Also in your response, explain if the results of the interaction support the research hypothesis for the interaction?
(Research Hypothesis: Females: Mhealthyweight > Moverweight > Mobese; Males: Mhealthyweight = Moverweight > Mobese)

QUESTION 6 6 points
Write a brief one-paragraph report in APA summarizing the results of the chi-square test of independence examining if there were sex differences in online dating use. Report the test in correct statistical notation and interpret the findings (i.e., do the findings indicate that males or females were more likely to have used online dating?).
