Suppose a classroom teacher wants to measure whether offering candy as a reward will increase the number of times that a student
raises his/her hand to answer a question in class. A study yields the following data.Row C1 C21 9 122 7 83 15 144 10 115 8 7If column 1 is the number of times that a student raised their hand to answer a question before the candy reward was implemented, and column 2 is the number of times that the same students raised their hands to answer questions after the candy reward was implemented, which of the following is the appropriate inference method to analyze these data?A) Inference for regressionB) Two independent samples C) Matched pairs
Matched samples (also called matched pairs, paired samples or dependent samples) is a type of sampling that involves pairing participants that share every characteristic except for the one under study. The paired participants could be same individuals studied at different time such as:
The study of same participants before and after an interference.
The study of the same participants at two different interference.
