In 2016 the Department of'Hathematics Education, Purdue university conducted a study to determine if reading ability is related to the performance of students in mathematics courses. Two groups of first semester students were formed; one group was rated high in reading ability and the other group was rated slightly below average in reading ability. The two groups were given a common exam on word problems in elementary algebra- The following statistics were obtained: sample: size mean variance strong reading ability 40 73-5 51.5 below average reading ability 40 71-3 344.2 Test at the 0.10 level of significance to determine if reading ability has any effect on performance in solving algebraic word problems
