A linguist is interested in knowing how best to learn a foreignlanguage. The linguist develops a new way to learn a foreignlanguage called Aural-Oral and wants to compare it to thetraditional translation method. In a research study, students froma sample are randomly assigned to one of the methods: Aural-Oral,translation, and combination of both. In addition, the linguistwants to know if IQ is related to learning a foreign language, sothe students are split into having a high or average IQ. After ayear of studying a foreign language, the students are asked to takea vocabulary test on the foreign language. What can the linguistconclude with ? = 0.05?
IQ
Method | High | Average |
---|
Aural-Oral | 31 24 20 25 | 32 19 37 28 |
Translation | 28 25 31 20 | 20 23 14 15 |
Combined | 17 28 21 18 | 26 27 32 27 |
a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na One-Way ANOVA Within-Subjects ANOVA Two-WayANOVA
b) Compute the appropriate test statistic(s) tomake a decision about H0.
Method: critical value = ; teststatistic =
Decision: ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0
IQ: critical value = ; test statistic=
Decision: ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0
Interaction: critical value = ; teststatistic =
Decision: ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0
c) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) andindicate magnitude(s).
Mehotd: ?2= ; ---Select--- na trivial effect smalleffect medium effect large effect
IQ: ?2= ; ---Select--- na trivial effect smalleffect medium effect large effect
Interaction: ?2= ; ---Select--- na trivial effect smalleffect medium effect large effect
d) Make an interpretation based on theresults.
