Question:
Many professors do not like having cell phones ring during class. A recent study appears to justify this reaction, by showing that a ringing cell phone can adversely affect student learning. In the experiment, students in a college classroom were exposed to a ringing cell phone during a psychology lecture. In the first part of the experiment, performance on a quiz revealed significantly lower accuracy rates on material presented while the phone was ringing. In a second part of the experiment, proximity of the students to the ringing phone was measured and results showed that the location of the ringing phone within the classroom was not associated with performance. The p-values for the two tests were 0.93 and 0.0004. Which p-value goes with which test? For the significant result, describe the strength of the evidence in context.
