The table below looks at data from a study that manipulates both
1. text color (red and blue) and
2. text bold-facing (normal or bold-faced)
on readability.

Based on those data, what main effects do we have? (Assume, for this exercise, that any differences are statistically significant. Note, however, that we would have to do statistical significance tests to find out which, if any, of the observed differences between conditions were reliable differences.)


Color
Red Blue
Bold-facing Regular 6 3
Bold 9 6

Please answer the following three questions.
1. Does there seem to be a main effect for Color ?
Yes No
2. Does there seem to be a main effect for Bold-facing ?

3. Does there seem to be an interaction between Color and Bold-facing ?
