A researcher is interested in determining whether the new design of the training simulator and a new behavior modification program will affect a student’s learning behavior. Sixty-three (63) students are randomly selected for inclusion in this research project. The students are randomly divided into 9 groups of 7. The group assignments are as follows:

	Design A	Design B	Design C
No behavior modification	12	18	21
	10	16	22
	19	27	33
	19	23	35
	15	26	27
	18	22	34
	22	22	32
Behavior modification every other day	28	30	38
	15	15	20
	20	20	23
	12	14	20
	14	15	14
	14	20	21
	17	19	21
Behavior modification every day	3	7	13
	10	14	18
	11	11	12
	8	12	13
	11	17	19
	5	10	9
	17	15	13

After 10 weeks, students are tested on an examination of their learning behavior. The scores range from a low of 1 (low) to 45 (high) (See above table for detailed scores). Analyze the data and answer the following questions. (For any test, use α=0.050 )

Based on your judgment, will you consider a one way or two-way ANOVA test?
Please clearly state your hypotheses for this problem.
Present your detailed statistical analysis results.
Interpret your results: Will the behavior modification program affect the score? Will the new design of the training simulator affect the score? Is there an interaction effect between the behavior modification program and the new design? Please justify your answers

p value for behavior modification program = 0.0000

p value < 0.05

so,

behavior modification program affect the score

.........

p value for new design of the training = 0.0000

p value < 0.05

new design of the training simulator affect the score

...............

p value for interaction = 0.2200

p avlue > 0.05

so, there is no interaction effect between the behavior modification program and the new design

.................
