The obtained ‘F’ ratio of Anxiety for factor ‘A’ 2.971 and the table ‘F’ ratio was 2.41. The
study was found significant at 0.05 level of confidence for the degrees of freedom 4 and 285, as
the obtained ‘F’ ratio was greater than the table ‘F’ ratio, the factor “A” was significant and the
post hoc test was followed as stated by Stevens (1999).
The obtained ‘F’ ratio for factor ‘B’ was .597 and table ‘F’ ratio was 3.04. As the obtained
‘F’ ratio was lesser than the table ‘F’ ratio, the study was insignificant at 0.05 level of confidence
for the degrees of freedom 2 and 285. As the factor “B” was insignificant, the post hoc test was
not followed.
The obtained ‘F’ ratio for factor ‘A x B’ was .668 and table ‘F’ ratio was 1.98. As the
obtained ‘F’ ratio was lesser than the table ‘F’ ratio, the study was non-significant at 0.05 level of
confidence for the degrees of freedom 8 and 285. As the obtained ‘F’ ratio is lesser than the table
‘F’ ratio, the simple effect test was not applied to find out the overall cell mean significant
difference as stated by Stevens (1999).
