A researcher at a pharmaceutical company is interested in testing out the effects of a new drug, which he thinks will improve attention. However, he also suspects that the effects of the drug interact with caffeine. To test this, he tests six separate groups (n = 10, in each group), given either a drug, a placebo, or no drug, and either having consumed caffeine, or no caffeine. Each performs an attention task. He collects the following data. drug placebo no drug Caffeine x = 5 x = 10 x = 15 x2 = 210 x2 = 330 x2 = 415 No Caffeine x = 20 x = 10 x = 6 x2 = 780 x2 = 345 x2 = 270 What is the F-value (F-obtained) for the interaction between drug and caffeine (AxB interaction)?
