Question Context 23-25

A researcher is trying to examine the effects of two different teaching methods. He divides 20 students into two groups of 10 each. For group 1, the teaching method is using fun examples. Where as for group 2 the teaching method is using software to help students learn. After a 20 minutes lecture of both groups, a test is conducted for all the students.

We want to calculate if there is a significant difference in the scores of both the groups.

It is given that:

Alpha=0.05, two tailed.

Mean test score for group 1 = 10

Mean test score for group 2 = 7

Standard error = 0.94

23) What is the value of t-statistic?

A) 3.191

B) 3.395

C) Cannot be determined.

D) None of the above

24) Is there a significant difference in the scores of the two groups?

A) Yes

B) No

25) What percentage of variability in scores is explained by the method of teaching?

A) 36.13

B) 45.21

C) 40.33

D) 32.97

26) [True or False] F statistic cannot be negative.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

28) Correlation between two variables (Var1 and Var2) is 0.65. Now, after adding numeric 2 to all the values of Var1, the correlation co-efficient will_______ ?

A) Increase

B) Decrease

C) None of the above
