Question: There is some evidence that high school students justify cheating in class on the basis of poor teacher skills or low levels of teacher caring (Murdock, Miller, and Kohlhardt, 2004). Students appear to rationalize their behavior based on perceptions of how their teachers view cheating. Poor teachers are thought not to know or care whether students cheat, so cheating in their classes is okay. Good teachers, on the other hand, do care and are alert to cheating, so students tend not to cheat in their classes. The following are hypothetical data similar to the actual research results. The scores represent judgments of the acceptability of cheating for the students in each sample.

a) Test the hypothesis that the group means are equal across conditions using an α of .05. Is their evidence that cheating differed across conditions?
