Question 5.14

5.14 The pen is mightier than the keyboard, continued.

  1. (a) Outline the design of Exercise 5.12 for the experiment to compare the two treatments (laptop note-taking and longhand note-taking) that students received for taking notes. When you outline the design of an experiment, be sure to indicate the size of the treatment groups and the response variable. The diagrams in Figures 5.2 and 5.3 are models.

  2. (b) If you have access to statistical software, use it to carry out the randomization required by your design. Otherwise, use Table A, beginning at line 119, to do the randomization your design requires.
