Q

What would the type one error be for an experiment with 3 levels and an alpha of .05?

A 
1-(1-a)^c
a=alpha, c=number of levels
1-(1-.05)^3
1-(1.05)^3
1-.95^3
1-.86
=.14
so, the probability of a type one error on atleast one of the three tests is 14%

both within and between groups variances are moderate to small. this should lead to an f-ratio of approximately 1.
