4.2 Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Once model assumptions were assessed, we proceed to perform the ANOVA. Table 6 shows the ANOVA for the duration measure whereas Table 7 shows the ANOVA for effort.

\ Table 6: ANOVA for duration measure

\ If we set an alpha level of 0.05 neither treatment (both ANOVA tests) are significant. However setting an alpha level of 0.1 which represents a confidence level of 90% we get significant differences in both treatments. For the first treatment (Table 6) we get a p-value = 0.0969 with respect to duration, whereas we get a p-value = 0.1017 for the second treatment (Table 7). Although this second p-value is slightly greater than 0.1, we also consider it significant.
