As part of a Master's thesis project, a mathematics teacher is interested in the effects of two different teaching methods on mathematics achievement. She randomly chooses a class of students to learn one algebraic concept using traditional methods. Then on another day, the same students learn a similar algebraic concept using manipulatives. The teacher then compares their test scores. Determine whether the samples are dependent or independent. A) independent B) dependent
solution:
If the values in one sample affect the values in the other sample, then the samples are dependent.
If the values in one sample reveal no information about those of the other sample, then the samples are independent.
the samples are dependent

Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed. A group of students is taught using interactive simulation software. A second group of students is taught in traditional lab sessions. The science test scores for the two groups are given below. At α = 0.05, can you support the claim that the mean science test score is higher for students taught using the interactive software than it is for students taught using the traditional lab method?...
A kindergarten teacher is interested in investigating differences in the amount of time students spend reading for 20 min. free-time period based on the average number of days per week parents reports reading to their children.

All work must be shown. That is, you need to show the steps and calculations you used to arrive at every answer for credit - For example, I need to see which two numbers you divided to arrive at a particular S? value, F-ratio value, etc. The "Pygmalion Effect" refers to the effect of teacher expectations on student academic achievement and performance (for the classic study on this phenomenon, see Rosenthal & Jacobson, 1968; for a more recent review of...
