Select one:
a.
inexplicable variation
b.
regular variation
c.
random variation
d.
seasonal variation
e.

Which best describes the null hypothesis associated with an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)?
Group of answer choices
a. Ho: Variance 1 = Variance 2 = Variance 3
b. Ho: Standard Deviation 1 = Standard Deviation 2 = Standard Deviation 3
c. Ho: Proportion 1 = Proportion 2 = Proportion 3
d. Ho: Median 1 = Median 2 = Median 3
e. Ho: Mean 1 = Mean 2 = Mean 3
3) The major variable is the central idea of the entire literature. Its sub-variables help specify which particular aspect of the major variable is being referred to. The indicators, on the other hand, are specific information that describes the sub-variables.
Examples:
Major variable: Study habits
Sub-variable: Time required for studying, methods of studying, and place for studying
Indicators: Employing patterned time intervals for effective studying: using mnemonics in memorizing the terms; and studying in one's ideal environment
Instructions: Identify the major variables, sub-variables, and indicators of the examples of literature review.
