Most university athletic programs now have a Web site with information on individual sports and a Prospective Student Athlete Form that allows high school athletes to submit their academic and sports achievements directly to the college coach. The Sport Journal (Winter 2004) published a study of how important teams Web sites are to the recruitment of college tennis players. A survey was conducted of NCAA tennis coaches, of which 53 were from Division I schools, 20 were from Division II schools, and 53 were from Division III schools. Coaches were asked to respond to a series of statements, including "The Prospective Student Athlete Form on the Web site contributes very little to the recruiting process." Responses were measured on a 7-point scale (where 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree). In order to compare the mean responses of tennis coaches from the three NCAA divisions, the data were analyzed with a completely randomized design ANOVA.
a. Identify the experimental unit, dependent (response) variable, factor, and treatments for this study.
b. Give the null and alternative hypotheses for the ANOVA F-test.
c. The observed significance level of the test was found to be p-value d. The mean responses are listed and ranked in the next table. The results were obtained using a multiple comparisons procedure with an experiment-wise error rate of .05. Interpret the results practically.
