Question

A teacher gives a third grade class of n = 16 a reading skills test at the beginning of the school year.  To evaluate the changes that occur during the year, students are tested again at the end of the year.  Their test scores revealed an average improvement of MD = 4.7 points

A. If the variance for the difference scores is s2 = 144, are the results sufficient to conclude

              that there is significant improvement?  Use a one-tailed test with α = .05.

 

          s² = ________________________________

 

          SMD = ______________________________

 

          tcritical =     ___________________________

 

          tcalculated =    ___________________________

 

               Decision = __________________________

 

 

B. If the variance for the difference scores is reduced to  s2 = 64, are the results sufficient

              to conclude that there is significant improvement?  Use a one-tailed test with α = .05.

 

          SMD = ______________________________

 

          tcritical =     ___________________________

 

          tcalculated =    ___________________________

 

               Decision = __________________________
