For a study that was analyzing the effectiveness of different energy drinks during a 2-hour foot-ball practice, which of the following would be an appropriate way to explain the results of a statistical test to the head coach?
a. F (2,16) = 4.84, Ferit = 5.03, p > .05. The difference was not statistically real.
b. F (2.16) = 4.84, p > .05. The difference was not statistically real.
C. There was a not significant difference between the Fcalc and F crit and therefore Energy Drink A, Energy Drink B, and
Energy Drink C all work equally well.
d. There is a no difference among the 3 types of energy drinks; they are all equally effective.
