Question

We have statistics for a variable for six samples: Catholic men, Jewish men, Muslim men, Catholic women, Jewish women, and Muslim women. We run an ANOVA for the male groups, and find that p<.01, meaning that we can claim that the male means are not the same. If each of the women's groups has twice the variation on the variable as each corresponding male group, which of the following cannot be true?
A) p>.05
B) p<.05
C) p<.01
D) p<.001

If the women's groups have twice the variation as the male groups, it is less likely to find a significant difference among the women's groups. Therefore, a very small p-value like p<.001 is unlikely.
