Students were asked if they were taking the practice ACT and if they wanted to participate in an experiment regarding the practice test. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419382897 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419383561 75 Students were asked to listen to classical music while studying and the morning before taking the test. 75 Students were asked to listen to mumble rap while studying and the morning before taking the test. 75 students were asked to listen to no music while studying and the morning before the test. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419383561 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384437 Our Experimental Variable is the different genre of music each group of students listen to. These genres are classical, rap and none. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384437 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384620 Our Response Variable is the average score of the individuals that took the practice ACT based off of their music genre. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384620 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384888 Our control group is the group of 75 students who did not listen to any music while studying or the morning before the test. There is no placebo with our experiment as it is not possible to have one. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419384888 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419386035 With this experiment, we cannot blind our participants. This is because they will know what type of music they’re listening to. They will also be going to the same school and will be able to talk about what group they are in. We also cannot double blind since it is a small team and we will know what music everyone is listening to if any. ]]> 2019-12-03 23:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/419386035 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618082 The local High school gave us a list of 225 students that were taking the practice ACT. We took this list and randomly selected three groups of 75 for each different treatment. The lurking variables for this study can be the study habits of each individual and their GPA. ]]> 2019-12-06 05:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618082 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618279 In order to make sure the lurking variables do not affect the outcome of this experiment, we paired the individuals in groups based off of GPA and Study habits. From there, we randomly chose individuals from each group to make sure that there was not a group full of higher GPA students and ones filled with lower GPA students as this may lower the average test score of the groups and not portray an accurate outcome.]]> 2019-12-06 05:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618279 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618421 We can replicate this same experiment with 225 new subjects. This will allow us to help confirm the results of the experiment and make it more accurate. We can also take students with lower GPAs if the test works in order for them to get higher test scores. ]]> 2019-12-06 05:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618421 icalt922 https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618484 Our sample size was 225 and out MOE was 6.5% which meant that the music helped individuals]]> 2019-12-06 05:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/icalt922/urztfhm4vzeg/wish/420618484
