In a​ study, the effects of the mane of a male lion as a signal of quality to mates and rivals was explored. Four​ life-sized dummies of male lions provided a tool for testing female response to the unfamiliar lions whose manes varied by length​ (long or​ short) and color​ (blonde or​ dark). The female lions were observed to see whether they approached each of the four​ life-sized dummies. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (e) below.     a. Identify the experimental units. Choose the correct answer below.     The female lions   The male dummies   The mane colors   The mane lengths Part 2 b. Identify the response variable. Choose the correct answer below.     A. Whether or not​ (yes or​ no) the mane length affected how the female lions reacted to a male dummy.   B. Whether or not​ (yes or​ no) the female lions approached the same dummies.   C. Whether or not​ (yes or​ no) the female lions approached a male dummy.   D. Whether or not​…
A campus researcher wanted to investigate the factors that affect visitor travel time in a complex, multilevel building on campus. Specifically, he wanted to determine whether different building signs (building maps versus wall signage) affect the total amount of time visitors require to reach their destination and whether that time depends on whether the starting location is inside or outside the building. Three subjects were assigned to each of the combinations of signs and starting locations, and travel time in seconds from beginning to destination was recorded. How should the data be analyzed?
