Chapter 10, Problem 10.4.4
Describe the hypotheses for a two-way ANOVA test.
Verified step by step guidance1
Define the null hypothesis for the first factor (Factor A): The means of all levels of Factor A are equal. Mathematically, this can be expressed as .
Define the null hypothesis for the second factor (Factor B): The means of all levels of Factor B are equal. Mathematically, this can be expressed as .
Define the null hypothesis for the interaction effect (Factor A × Factor B): There is no interaction effect between Factor A and Factor B. This means the effect of one factor does not depend on the level of the other factor.
Define the alternative hypothesis for the first factor (Factor A): At least one level of Factor A has a mean that is different from the others. This can be expressed as for at least one pair of levels.
Define the alternative hypothesis for the interaction effect (Factor A × Factor B): There is a significant interaction effect between Factor A and Factor B, meaning the effect of one factor depends on the level of the other factor.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Null Hypothesis (H0)
In a two-way ANOVA test, the null hypothesis states that there are no significant differences in the means of the groups being compared. Specifically, it posits that neither of the independent variables has an effect on the dependent variable, and any observed differences are due to random chance.

Step 1: Write Hypotheses
Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
The alternative hypothesis in a two-way ANOVA suggests that at least one group mean is significantly different from the others. This can occur due to the influence of one or both independent variables on the dependent variable, indicating that the factors being studied do have an effect.

Interaction Effect
In a two-way ANOVA, the interaction effect examines whether the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable differs depending on the level of the other independent variable. This concept is crucial as it helps to understand how the variables work together, rather than in isolation, to influence the outcome.

Conditional Relative Frequencies In Exercises 37–42, use the contingency table from Exercises 33–36, and the information below.
Relative frequencies can also be calculated based on the row totals (by dividing each row entry by the row’s total) or the column totals (by dividing each column entry by the column’s total). These frequencies are conditional relative frequencies and can be used to determine whether an association exists between two categories in a contingency table.

Contingency Tables and Relative Frequencies In Exercises 33–36, use the information below.
The frequencies in a contingency table can be written as relative frequencies by dividing each frequency by the sample size. The contingency table below shows the number of U.S. adults (in millions) ages 25 and over by employment status and educational attainment. (Adapted from U.S. Census Bureau)
