Problem 2
Psychologists have done several studies examining mode of delivery for textbooks, comparing comprehension after reading material from a traditional paper textbook versus various electronic devices. Dr. Hangon decided to see if he could replicate these earlier studies. He tested 13 participants in three conditions: 1) paper textbook, 2) reading from a laptop-sized screen, and 3) reading from a cell-phone sized screen. In each condition, participants read 1500 words. Order of text delivery mode was counterbalanced across participants.The dependent variable was the score on a 7-item comprenhension test. Did Dr. Hangon find any difference between the difference modes of text delivery?

For hypothesis testing questions, use the four-step procedure outlined in class and assume α = 0.05, unless instructed to do otherwise in the problem. For all problems, provide a conclusion for each question in everyday English.
For ANOVA question(s), include a post-hoc test and an effect size calculation. For correlation questions, include a scatterplot that incorporates a regression line.
