Solution

The Mann-Whitney U test is used to compare differences between two independent groups when the dependent variable is either ordinal or continuous, but not normally distributed. For example, it can be used to test the hypothesis that two independent samples come from the same population.

From the options given, the experimental design that can be analysed using a Mann-Whitney U test is:

c. An independent-sample design in which the number of correct responses on a statistics exam were recorded for two groups of participants: one group received their teaching online and the other group on campus.

This is because the Mann-Whitney U test is used to compare the differences between two independent groups, in this case, the group that received their teaching online and the group that received their teaching on campus. The dependent variable, the number of correct responses on a statistics exam, is continuous.

In an experiment to determine the best method by which to assess college students, a group of students were exposed to one of three types of tests. The three methods were: all multiple choice questions, all free-response questions, and a mix of question types (both multiple choice and free-response questions). The scores were recorded for each test taken. Fifteen students were used in the study, and grouped by class level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate). The following tables provide the results of the experiment.Class Level Multiple Choice Free-Response MixedFreshman 78 84 90Sophomore 82 90 95Junior 90 94 98Senior 88 96 100Graduate 95 98 99Below is the ANOVA table.ANOVA Source of Variation SS df MS F P-value F critClass Level 337.0667 4 84.2667 22.0786 0.000222 3.8379Testing Method 242.8 2 121.4 31.8079 0.000156 4.4590Error 30.5333 8 3.8167 Total 610.4 14  What would you tell the researchers about their results?Group of answer choicesAt the 0.01 level of significance, there is a significant difference among testing methods, and blocking, based on Class Level was useful in the analysis.At the 0.01 level of significance, there is a significant difference among testing methods, but blocking, based on Class Level was NOT useful in the analysis.These results reveal no significant differences.Graduate Students score significantly better than Freshman, regardless of the testing method.
