Many universities and colleges have instituted supplemental instruction (SI) programs, in which a student facilitator meets regu

larly with a small group of students enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery. Suppose that students in a large statistics course (what else?) are randomly divided into a control group that will not participate in SI and a treatment group that will participate. At the end of the term, each student’s total score in the course is determined.
a. Are the scores from the SI group a sample from an existing population? If so, what is it? If not, what is the relevant conceptual population?
b. What do you think is the advantage of randomly dividing the students into the two groups rather than letting each student choose which group to join?
c. Why didn’t the investigators put all students in the treatment group? Note: The article "Supplemental Instruction: An Effective Component of Student Affairs Programming" (J. of College Student Devel., 1997: 577–586) discusses the analysis of data from several SI programs.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let many universities and colleges have conducted supplemental instruction(SI) programs. In that a student facilitator he meets the students group regularly who are enrolled in the course to promote discussion of course material and enhance subject mastery.

Here the students in a large statistics group are classified into two groups:

1). Control group: This group will not participate in SI and

2). Treatment group: This group will participate in SI.

a)Suppose they are samples from an existing population, Then it would be the population of students who are taking the course in question and who had supplemental instruction. And this would be same as the sample. Here we can guess that this is a conceptual population - The students who might take the class and get SI.

b)Some students might be more motivated, and they might spend the extra time in the SI sessions and do better. Here they have done better anyway because of their motivation. There is other possibility that some students have weak background and know it and take the exam, But still do not do as well as the others. Here we cannot separate out the effect of the SI from a lot of possibilities if you allow students to choose.

The random assignment guarantees ‘Unbiased’ results - good students and bad are just as likely to get the SI or control.

c)There wouldn't be any basis for comparison otherwise.

This is stupid I know lol but I'm having a hard time remembering the difference between a histogram and a bar graph. Can someone
Y_Kistochka [10]

<u>In Bar Graphs;</u>

- Bars have equal space

- One the y-axis, we have numbers & on the x-axis, we have data which can be anything.

<u> In Histograms;</u>

- Bars are fixed

- On the y-axis, we have numbers & and on the x-axis, we have data which in continuous & will always be number.

<u>An easy way you can remember the difference is looking at the spaces of the bars. </u>

<em>A bar graph has gaps</em>

<em>A histogram has no gaps.</em>

Kyle is stringing a necklace with beads he puts black beads on 5/8 of the string and white beads on 1/4 of the string Kyle think
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:Kyle’s claim is not reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with black beads is 5/8.

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with white beads is 1/4.

Total length of the string of the necklace that Kyle covered with black beads and white beads is would be

1/4 + 5/8 = 7/8 = 0.875

Kyle thought that he will cover 6/12 of the string with beads. 6/12 = 0.5

It means that he covered more than 6/12. Kyle's claim was wrong

A = d1 x d2 / 2

d1 = BD = 8 units

48 = 8 x AC / 2

48 x 2 = 8 AC

96 = 8 AC
