Question

In a study analyzed by the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis at Virginia Tech, a group of subjects was asked to complete a certain task on the computer. The response measured was the time to completion. The purpose of the experiment was to test a set of facilitation tools developed by the Department of Computer Science at the university. There were 10 subjects involved. With a random assignment, five were given a standard procedure using Fortran language for completion of the task. The other five were asked to do the task with the use of the facilitation tools. The data on the completion times for the task are given here.

In a set of data analyzed by the Statistics Consulting Center at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI\&SU), a group of subjects was asked to complete a certain task on the computer. The response measured was the time to completion. The purpose of the experiment was to test a set of facilitation tools developed by the Department of Computer Science at VPI\&SU. There were 10 subjects involved. With a random assignment, five were given a standard procedure using Fortran language for completion of the task. The additional five were asked to do the task with the use of the facilitation tools. The data on the completion times for the task are given here. Assuming that the population distributions are normal and variances are the same for the two groups, support or refute the conjecture that the facilitation tools increase the speed with which the task can be

Researchers wanted to know whether there was a difference in comprehension among students learning a computer program based on the style of the text. They randomly divided 36 students into two groups of 18 each. The researchers verified that the 36 students were similar in terms of educational level, age, and so on. Group 1 individuals learned the software using a visual manual (multimodal instruction), while group 2 individuals learned the software using a textual manual (unimodal instruction). The following data represent scores that the students received on an exam given to them after they studied from the manuals. (TABLE CAN'T COPY) (a) What type of experimental design is this? (b) What are the treatments? (c) A normal probability plot and boxplot indicate it is reasonable to use Welch's $t$ -test. Is there a difference in test scores at the $\alpha=0.05$ level of significance?
