What is your research question?

Does face-to-face course delivery format leads to better student performance than online delivery format?

What is your hypothesis (both null and alternate)?

Null hypothesis: Face-to-face format leads to lesser or same performance scores as does online format.

Alternate hypothesis: Face-to-face format leads to better performance scores than online format

Is this a qualitative or quantitative design and why?

This is a quantitative design because performance is measured by numerical scores of students in statistics class.

Is this a descriptive, correlational, or experimental design and why?

This is experimental design because students would be selectively assigned to online or face-to-face format.

What would be an example of a variable for this study that could be measured on a nominal scale? Ordinal scale? Interval scale? Ratio scale?

Nominal scale: Gender of student (male/female)

Ordinal scale: Performance history of student (bad/good/excellent)

Interval scale: Age of student

Ratio scale: Test score

Once you have collected your data, would you use inferential or descriptive statistics and why?

We would use inferential statistics because we’d be generalizing the results if a format is better than another based on only a small sample from my statistic class.

Create a sample frequency distribution for one of the variables. Choose either a simple or grouped frequency distribution and explain your choice.

|Score class |Frequency of students in online format |

|=75 |7 |

Grouped frequency distribution was chosen as summarizing student scores by specific ranges gives better idea of overall performance than individual scores.
