  1. Factors Affecting Student Study Allison Foy Justin Messina

  2. Introduction • Students have differing methods of study • Assumption: focus and speed (time to complete test) are interrelated

  3. Objective • To test if outside factors affect student scores on a basic arithmetic test

  4. Design • Three Factors, Factorial • Subjects (Blocking factor) • Music genre (Heavy metal, Classical, No music) • Room temperature (55°F, 70°F) • One Replicate • 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 experiments

  5. Problem Bank

  6. Experiment Results

  7. Analysis of Variance on Score Subject 470.33 Music 150.58

  8. Analysis Observations: • Subject = significant • Music = significant • Temperature = not significant *Subject appears to more heavily affect results

  9. Normal Probability Plot

  10. Residual Plots

  11. Analysis of Variance with Interaction

  12. Analysis Observations: • Initially, no error or F-values; significance estimation based on Seq SS values • Subject = significant • Music = significant • Temperature = not significant *All 2-way and 3-way interactions were determined to be not significant

  13. Normal Probability Plot

  14. Residual Plots

  15. Main Effects Plot

  16. Interaction Plot

  17. Conclusions • Subjects have different skill levels • Heavy metal music produces the lowest scores • No music and classical music produce the highest scores • Room temperature does not affect score
