The document outlines three statistical problems for a 2nd Year BSED Math class at Clarendon College, focusing on different statistical tests. It includes a Mann-Whitney U-test for comparing reading methods, a Friedman test for assessing the impact of animal companionship on elderly males, and a Kruskal-Wallis H-test for analyzing strength gains from exercise. Each problem requires reporting findings based on specific significance levels and methods to control Type I error rates.

Solve the following problems. Show your solutions.

1. The data in Table 4.6 were obtained from a reading-level test for first-grade children. Compare the performance gains of the
two different methods for teaching reading.

Use a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test with a=0.05 to determine which method was better for teaching reading. Report
your findings.

2. A graduate student performed a pilot study for his dissertation. He wanted to examine the effects of animal companionship on
elderly males. He selected 10 male participants from a nursing home. Then he used an ABAB research design where A
represented a week with the absence of a cat and B represented a week with the presence of a cat. At the end of each week, he
administered a 20-point survey to measure quality of life satisfaction. The survey results are presented in Table 5.9.

Use a Friedman test to determine if one or more of the groups are significantly different. Since this is pilot study, use
a=0.10 . If a significant difference exists, use Wilcoxon signed ranks tests to identify which groups are significantly
different. Use the Bonferroni procedure to limit the Type I error rate. Report your findings.

3. A researcher conducted a study with n=15 participants to investigate strength gains from exercise. The participants were
divided into three groups and given one of three treatments. Participants' strength gains were measured and ranked. The
rankings are presented in Table 6.8.

Use a Kruskal-Wallis H-test with a=0.05 to determine if one or more of the groups are significantly different. If a
significant difference exists, use two-tailed Mann-Whitney U-tests to identify which groups are significantly different. Use
the Bonferroni procedure to limit the Type I error rate. Report your findings.
