We numbered them 1 to 20. Some lurking variables could be how good the student is taking tests in general. Depending on how good the person is at taking tests it could effect the results for our test. As well as another lurking variable could be the subject the test was on. Seeing as some students struggle with certain subjects some could've done better than others based on the subject the test was on. ]]> 2018-11-17 02:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305496799 pkhic692 https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305497146 We matched students up based upon their grade level in which we randomly picked one to receive the placebo which was no hours of sleep and the other to receive a prescribed amount of hours of sleep.]]> 2018-11-17 03:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305497146 pkhic692 https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498547 2018-11-17 03:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498547 pkhic692 https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498578 2018-11-17 03:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498578 pkhic692 https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498646 We randomized all the students so that each student had an equal chance of being selected for our experiment.

Seeing as people who got 2 hours of sleep averaged around a 56 percent. Though the more someone achieved in their sleep the better their test score was. The students who received 8 hours of sleep had the best average of test scores coming in around an 87 percent on the test. Which shows a dramatic increase in success upon how how much sleep the student received. ]]> 2018-11-17 03:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305498934 pkhic692 https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305499121 Our results would be useful to the school because it shows that student test success can be directly related to how much sleep a student has before he or she takes a test. In which if the students know that it helps them in order to take tests they might do better if they get more sleep.]]> 2018-11-17 03:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pkhic692/s9902sp04x8s/wish/305499121
