    Question

    Given are the ANOVA tables of two nested regression models: one model with two predictors, and one model with two predictors and their interaction. Use the model comparison test (“Model Comparison Test”) to determine whether there is significant interaction.


    1. FALSE: F(df1=3, df2=30)= 4.48 > 2.92, so significant interaction
    2. FALSE: F(df1=3, df2=29)= 4.33 > 2.93, so significant interaction
    3. FALSE: F(df1=1, df2=30)= 13.45 > 4.17, so significant interaction
    4. TRUE: F(df1=1, df2=29)= 13.00 > 4.18, so significant interaction
