Reference no: EM13494266

A researcher has studied subjects' ability to learn to translate words into Morse code. He has ecperiemented with two treatment conditions: in one condition, the subjects are given massed practice; they spend 8 full hours on the task. In the other condition, subjects are given distributed practice; they also spend 8 hours, but their practice is spread over four days, practicing two hours at a time. After the practice, all subjects are given a text message to encode; the dependent variables is the number of errors made. The researcher has matched the subjects on intelligence. The results are in the folowing table. Decide which statistical test would be appropriate, carry out the test, and evaluate the outcome. Asusme a signifricance level of .05 and that the direction of the outcome has not been predicted. Massed Practiced Distributed Practice S1 6 S1 5 S2 4 S2 3 S3 3 S3 2 S4 5 S4 2 S5 2 S5 3
