Question:

36. The article “Computer-Assisted Instruction Augmented with Planned Teacher/Student Contacts” (J. Exp. Educ., Winter, 1980–1981: 120–126) compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five methods were traditional lecture and discussion (L/D), programmed textbook instruction (R), programmed text with lectures

(R/L), computer instruction (C), and computer instruction with lectures (C/L). Forty-five students were randomly assigned, 9 to each method. After completing the course, the students took a 1-hour exam. In addition, a 10-minute retention test was administered 6 weeks later. Summary quantities are given.

The grand mean for the exam was 30.82, and the grand mean for the retention test was 29.30.

a. Does the data suggest that there is a difference among the five teaching methods with respect to true mean exam score? Use   .05.

b. Using a .05 significance level, test the null hypothesis of no difference among the true mean retention test scores for the five different teaching methods.
