2) We want to know whether the time of year influences the DOW Jones index (indicates stock market activity). Below is data indicating how the DOW performed in January, March, June, and September for 2009-2012. Positive numbers mean the DOW Jones increased, and negative numbers mean the DOW Jones decreased.
Year | January | March | June | September |
2012 | -4.12 | -2.60 | -4.89 | -3.45 |
2011 | -3.15 | -0.93 | 1.55 | 7.00 |
2010 | 3.63 | -5.81 | 3.60 | -7.72 |
2009 | 7.71 | -5.52 | 0.55 | -2.20 |

Answers
1) There is a difference in how many people purchased red, blue, and black cars (F (2,16) = 24.64, p < 0.05, eta squared = 0.77).
2) Month does not influence the Dow Jones index (F (3,12) = 0.80, p > 0.05, eta squared = 0.06).
