Question

Q1. A school district is conducting an evaluation to assess the impact of two types of Math courses on 6th, 7th and 8th grade students Algebra scores. A random sample of 36 students were selected from the three grade levels. The table below provides the algebra scores.

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis :

H0: The impact of math course is same on students of 6th ,7th and 8th Grade students

VS

H1 : The impact of math course is not same on students of 6th ,7th and 8th Grade students

Independent Variables : Grade of Students

Levels of independent variables :   6th ,7th, 8th Class students

Dependent Variables : Score in Algebra

Analysis of variance technique for Randomized block design can be used here as treatments are Basic math course and Booster math course and grades of students forms the block and algebra score is the response
