In a study on the influence of exercise type on pulse rate and dependence on dietary preference, the following table details Tests of Between-Subjects Effects. In the same study the following output is produced for exertype x intensity
Multivariate tests of significance (S = 2, M = -1/2, N = 701/2)
Examining Wilk's value again is reported as F(4,284) = .859, p = .489. What can be concluded about this result?
A) Levels of pulse rate are affected by intensity of type of exercise.
B) Differences in levels of pulse rate are not reliant on intensity of type of exercise in this sample.
C) Exercise does not affect levels of pulse rate.
D) None of the above.

The p-value (.489) is greater than the alpha level of .05, meaning that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This suggests that there is no significant difference between the groups in terms of pulse rate and intensity of exercise type. Therefore, we can conclude that differences in levels of pulse rate are not reliant on intensity of type of exercise in this sample.
