Lab Exercise 1

Data

Example 1. A researcher randomly assigns 33 subjects to one of three groups. The first group
receives technical dietary information interactively from an on-line website. Group 2 receives the
same information from a nurse practitioner, while group 3 receives the information from a video
tape made by the same nurse practitioner. The researcher looks at three different ratings of the
presentation, difficulty, usefulness and importance, to determine if there is a difference in the
modes of presentation. In particular, the researcher is interested in whether the interactive
website is superior because that is the most cost-effective way of delivering the information.
