Question

A sports reporter believes that there are three kinds of winning teams (winning team defined as those who win at least two thirds of the games that they play): teams that have a very strong offense, teams that have a very strong defense, and teams that are good (but not strong) with both offense and defense. Assuming that the reporter has collected data on 4 offense variables and 4 defense variables, what analysis can he conduct to examine his belief?

	A.	Factor analysis
	B.	Interaction/moderation
	C.	Cluster analysis
	D.	ANOVA

Answer 1

To examine his belief he should conduct factor analysis as here are three kinds of winning teams and each team has its own strength I.e. they have strong defence ,strong offence and one with both quality.so here we see teams are divided according to different quality factor that they are possessing . So when we apply factor analysis we able to divide team on the basis of each of these three factor easily and after that a proper and separate analysis can be easily drawn.
