Answer: B) Contusions are damaged skin and blood vessels that form red or blue discolorations of the skin. Hematomas are ruptured blood vessels beneath the skin that bleed enough to form bumps and swelling under the skin.

Explanation:

Contusion or bruising results when the blood vessels are broken and the blood is leaked out and blood can be observed at the place where the injury actually occurred. The hematomas are the proof of injuries which are caused by the same reason as that of contusion but are larger than contusions. The contusions are dark red to brown in starting then turns blue to pale yellow on recovery. The hematomas are formed when large number of blood vessels are affected associated with swelling and bumps. Thus the skin appears raised.

Which of the following regarding the assumption of sphericity is false? (Hint: Even very small departures from sphericity produce large biases in the F-test.)

Sphericity does not affect post hoc tests.

The effect of violating sphericity is a loss of power (i.e., an increased probability of a Type II error).

When sphericity is violated, we need to adjust the degrees of freedom for any F-ratios affected by the violation.

When sphericity is violated, the Bonferroni post hoc test can be used.
