A researcher wants to compare how kids solve three different types of arithmetic word problems, and to see if the order in which they experience the three types of problems makes a difference in how well they achieve. The problems are all based on the relationship Distance = Rate x Time. In the Distance problems, the kids are given a Rate (speed) that a vehicle is going, as well as a Time that the vehicle travels, and asked to calculate the Distance traveled. In the Rate problems they are asked to calculate Rate from the other two quantities, and similarly for Time in the Time problems.
In order to control (and test) for Order and Sequence effects, the researcher decides to use a 3x3 Latin Square design (within-subjects). In a pilot study, five kids are given several problems of each type to practice (and then tested on three problems), in one of the three Sequences: D-R-T, T-D-R, OR R-T-D.
The data are given below, organized by Order (i.e., the first number for every subject is the score for the first problem experienced, and so forth):

Write a 1-paragraph discussion of your findings.
|
Test the claim of the mean reading times
: At the 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the mean reading times lour the lour age groups are equal.
|
|
Flexible exchange rate system
: Why can't all the balance of payments accounts be in surplus? What factors determine the demand for British pounds in foreign exchange markets? How are exchange rates determined under a flexible exchange rate system?
|
|
Descriptive statistics and regression
: The mean, median, and mode are the most common measures of dispersion (spread).
|
|
Using anova to test mean difference
: Using ANOVA to test mean difference
|
|
Interpretation of marginal means
: In a pilot study, five kids are given several problems of each type to practice (and then tested on three problems), in one of the three Sequences: D-R-T, T-D-R, OR R-T-D.
|
|
What is the wind velocity
: With what force F should she pull down on the rope to accelerate herself and platform upward at a rate of 0.77 m/s2.
|
|
What is the charge and on beads
: A 52.5 g Super Ball travelling at 30 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 16.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with wall for 3.25 ms, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of ball during t..
|
|
Using chi square test for goodness
: Formulate an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion.
|
|
What is the cross sectional area of the wire
: Suppose that all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y axis. Find out the muzzle velocity of the ball (i.e., the velocity of the ball at spring's equilibrium position).
