Three high school participated in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a new computer-based mathematics curriculum. Four 24-student sections of freshman algebra were available for the study. The two types of instruction (standard curriculum, computer-based curriculum) were randomly assigned to the four sections in each of the three schools. At the end of the term, a standard mathematics achievement test was given to each of the 24 students in each section. a. Is this study experimental, observational, or mixed experimental and observational? Why?
b. Identify important factors, factor levels, and/or factor-level combinations.
c. Classify these factors as within- or between-subjects
d. what’s the dependent measures?
e. What is the basic experiment unit of study?

A) experimental

B)  The important factors are : Type of instruction, scores and  High schools,

   The factor levels are :

   Level -1 which comprises of  3 highschool,

   Level -2 which comprises of  highschool and the highschool has  4   sections   and each section has 24 students

   Factor level combinations:

  Level 1 : computer and standard based combination

C) Within the subject : 24 students

   Between subject : High school

D) score of the test

E) student

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The study is experimental because of the random assignment of two different types of instruction to the students which will control/affect the technique of teaching without just observing the performance of the students from the side

B) The important factors are : Type of instruction, scores and  High schools,

   The factor levels are :

   Level -1 which comprises of  3 highschool,

   Level -2 which comprises of  highschool and the highschool has  4   sections   and each section has 24 students

   Factor level combinations:

  Level 1 : computer and standard based combination

C) Within the subject : 24 students

   Between subject : High school

D) The dependent measure  is the score of the test

E) The basic experiment unit of the study is : student

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

265 words per minute

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

is there supposed to be a diagram or a graph for this one? ?
