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. The following output is produced for diet x intensity
Multivariate tests of significance (S = 1, M = 0, N = 701/2)
The reported findings are written as follows
F(1, 143) = 20.82, p = .000
What do you deduce by this result?
A) Change in pulse rate is not affected by dietary preference.
B) There is no difference in pulse rate in relation to intensity levels.
C) Change in pulse rate across intensity levels depends on dietary preference.
D) None of the above.

C) Change in pulse rate across intensity levels depends on dietary preference. 
D) None of the above.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The significant F-value (20.82) and p-value (.000) indicate that there is a significant difference in pulse rate across intensity levels that is dependent on dietary preference. Hence, the correct choice is C. Option A and B can be eliminated because they state that there is no effect, which is inconsistent with the findings. Option D can also be eliminated because the question specifically asks about the relationship between pulse rate and dietary preference.
