Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate statistical test for this investigation is a Three-way factorial ANOVA. This is because there are three independent variables (type of sweet, amount of sweet, and gender) and one dependent variable (happiness), making it necessary to use a test that can analyze the effects of multiple factors and their interactions on the outcome.
