Please refer the word document attached and write the case study accordingly.

An Air Force introductory course in electronics uses a

personalized system of instruction whereby each student views

a videotaped lecture and then is given a programmed

instruction text. The students work independently with the text

until they have completed the training and passed a test. Of

concern is the varying pace at which the students complete this

portion of their training program. Some students are able to

cover the programmed instruction text relatively quickly,

whereas other students work much longer with the text and

require additional time to complete the course. The fast

students wait until the slow students complete the introductory

course before the entire group proceeds together with other

aspects of their training.

A proposed alternative system involves use of computer-

assisted instruction. In this method, all students view the same

videotaped lecture and then each is assigned to a computer

terminal for further instruction. The computer guides the

student, working independently, through the self-training

portion of the course.

To compare the proposed and current methods of instruction,

an entering class of 122 students was assigned randomly to one

of the two methods. One group of 61 students used the current

programmed-text method and the other group of 61 students

used the proposed computer-assisted method. The time in

hours was recorded for each student in the study. The following

data are provided in the data set Training.

Managerial Report

1. Use appropriate descriptive statistics to summarize the training

time data for each method. What similarities or differences do

you observe from the sample data?

2. Use the methods of Chapter 10 to comment on any difference

between the population means for the two methods. Discuss

your findings.

3. Compute the standard deviation and variance for each training

method. Conduct a hypothesis test about the equality of

population variances for the two training methods. Discuss your

findings.

4. What conclusion can you reach about any differences between

the two methods? What is your recommendation? Explain.

5. Can you suggest other data or testing that might be desirable

before making a final decision on the training program to be

used in the future?
