Preliminary observations suggest variations in mean and median times across differen0t combinations. Further statistical analysis (ANOVA) is needed to confirm if these differences are significant. 2. Observational Study or Controlled Experiment Triple T has used a controlled experiment. In a controlled experiment, the researcher manipulates one or more independent variables (in this case, background color and font type) to observe the effect on a dependent variable (in this case, time spent by visitors). In this study, Triple T's IT group designed prototype homepages featuring different combinations of background colors and fonts and implemented computer code to randomly direct each website visitor to one of these prototype homepages. This random assignment is a key characteristic of controlled experiments, allowing for the comparison of different treatments and reducing the likelihood of confounding variables. 3.

based on the ANOVA results, there is evidence to suggest that the time spent by visitors to the Triple T website differs across the three background colors (white, green, and pink) becaue p=.0254<0.05. 4.

There is no compelling evidence, according to the ANOVA results for the combination of background color and font, that the amount of time visitors spend on the Triple T website varies depending on the combination. p=0.2269>0.05 indicates that the interaction effect is not statistically significant. 6. Results and Recommendations Background Color: The backdrop color factor's p-value is 0.025424, which is below the 0.05 significance level (α). As a result, the null hypothesis would be rejected. This implies that there is sufficient data to draw the conclusion that users of the Triple T website spend varied amounts of time on different backdrop colors. Font: The font type factor's p-value is 0.011446, which is below the 0.05 significance level (α). As a result, the null hypothesis would be rejected. This implies that there is sufficient data to draw the conclusion that users of the Triple T website spend varied amounts of time with different fonts. Combination of Background Color and Font: The interaction term (background color and font combination) has a p-value of 0.226942, above the significance level (α) of 0.05. You wouldn't reject the null hypothesis as a result. This implies that there is insufficient data to draw the conclusion that users of the Triple T website spend different amounts of time on different backdrop color and font combinations. Recommendation:
Based on the statistical significance of the background color and font separately, it appears that these elements significantly affect how long visitors stay on the page. The interaction effect, which is the result of the font and background color combination, does not, however, appear to have much of an effect. As a result, in order to improve user experience and possibly lengthen visitors' stay on the website, Triple T should think about optimizing the background color and typeface separately. The best mix may be discovered through additional research or A/B testing.
