4. Identify the assumptions for a one-way between-subjects ANOVA and a one-way within-subjects ANOVA.

5. Follow the steps to compute a one-way between-subjects ANOVA and a one-way within-subjects ANOVA, and interpret the results.

6. Compute and interpret Tukey’s HSD post hoc test and identify the most powerful post hoc test alternatives.

7. Compute and interpret proportion of variance for the one-way between-subjects ANOVA and the one-way within-subjects ANOVA.
