16. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 14.8 A teacher randomly assigned her students to three different study methods. Five students used flashcards (s = 6.181), five students re-read their notes three times (s = 4.183) and five students listened to the lectures again on video tape (s = 10.368). The MSE equals 54.4 and the data does not exhibit any outliers or heavy skew. Which of the following assumptions of Fishers confidence intervals is NOT met? a) Randomization used in applying treatments. b) Data comes from a Normal distribution. c) Populations have identical standard deviations. d) A and B are not met. e) A and C are not met.

22. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 14.11 An educational researcher is interested in determining what method works best for improving SAT scores. She randomly assigns 20 students to 4 groups: studying with a group using a workbook, studying in solitude with a workbook, studying with a group using a computer program and studying in solitude using a computer. To determine if the computer program had significantly different results than the workbook, what would be the null hypothesis for a Two Way ANOVA test? a) : mean SAT score is the same for each of the four groups. b) : mean SAT scores is the same for the computer program and workbook, for each fixed level of size of study group. c) : mean SAT score is the same for those that studied in solitude and those that studied in groups, for each fixed level of study method.
