A researcher wanted to know if sex and age affected how susceptible people were to distraction. She measured men and women of either 18-25, 26-30 and those over 31 in two task conditions, one where they carried out a task with no distraction and one where they did a similar task but with the TV on and tuned to a sport channel.

The table for the within-subjects effects shows that there were 20 participants in each age and gender group (i.e. 20 men aged 18-25 with no distraction, 20 women aged 18-25 with no distraction, etc.), for a total of 60 participants.

The table for the between-subjects effects does not provide information on the number of participants, but rather shows the results of statistical tests comparing the different groups (e.g. men vs. women, different age groups).
