Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An ANOVA comparing three treatments produces an overall F-ratio wid df=2, 27. If the Scheffe’ test was used to compare two of the three treatments, then the Scheffe’ F-ratio would also have df=2, 27.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypotheses for ANOVA: Null hypothesis: All three treatments are the same i.e. the means for all three treatments are equal. Alternative hypothesis: At least one of the three means is different than the other two means.

Detailed explanation-2: -The F-ratio uses variance because ANOVA can have many samples of data, not just two as in T-Tests. Using the variance lets us look at the differences that exist between all of the many samples.
