(for some types of tests, this answer should include the post-hoc significance AS WELL as the-overall significance) f) What are the means that should be reported (If this is an ANOVA/factorial please include all means to be reported)? g) What is the complete interpretation (in order to receive full credit you need to include all statistical notation as well as an interpretation of what they mean in context)
