Study 1. Directed Reading Activities

Open reading.sav

This data set provides reading performance of two groups of pupils – one control group that was NOT given Directed Reading Activities and one group that was given Directed Reading Activities (Moore et al., 2012, p.432). We will compare two groups of students with the aim of testing whether the Directed Reading Activities can enhance the performance of pupils on Degree of Reading Power Test.

id - participant ID number

g –Group indicator expressed as a binary variable (0=Directed Reading Activities, 1=control group)

drp – the performance on Degree of Reading Power Test.

Based on the research goal, answer question below:

1. Proper test statistic:
2. Identify the:

3. State hypotheses in words:

H₀:

H₁:

Answer 1

Independent variable:

g –Group indicator expressed as a binary variable (0=Directed Reading Activities, 1=control group)

Dependent variable:   drp( the performance on Degree of Reading Power Test)

Ho : Difference between the true mean of the performance on Degree of Reading Power Test of direct reading activities goup and Contol is zero
Ha :   Difference between the true mean of the performance on Degree of Reading Power Test of direct reading activities goup and Contol is greater than zero.
