Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement about adjusting means for groups affected by the violation using estimates of sphericity is false. In reality, when sphericity is violated, adjustments are made to the degrees of freedom of the F-ratios (as in C) or corrections like Greenhouse-Geisser or Huynh-Feldt are applied (as in D), rather than adjusting the means themselves.
