Working with main effects and interactions
You do an experiment that asks: How energetic do people feel after drinking different types of soft drinks (caffeinated/high calorie, caffeinated/diet, decaffeinated/high calorie, decaffeinated/diet)?
1. What are the in dependent variables in this design?
2. State the design in a ____ × ____ format:
3. What is the dependent variable?
Some possible results are tabled below. Answer the questions related to each set of results. If it helps you to answer the questions you can draw a graph.
