A researcher wants to investigate whether different forms of exercise can be used to help hyperactive children.A group of 90 children is divided into two groups according to age - those aged 9-12 and those aged 5-9.Within each age group the children are randomly assigned to one of three groups.The first group will just do their normal exercise.The second group will be given an additional exercise routine (moderate) .The third group will be given an additional exercise routine (strenuous) .At the end of a four-month period,parents will be asked to evaluate their children's progress.Identify the factor(s) and any blocking variables and the number of levels for each.
A) Factor: exercise (3 levels) ,Blocking variable: age (2 levels)
B) Blocking variable: exercise (3 levels) ,Factor: age (2 levels)
C) Factor: exercise (3 levels) ,Factor: age (2 levels)
D) Normal exercise and age 5-9,additional exercise (moderate) and age 5-9,additional exercise (strenuous) and age 5-9,normal exercise and age 9-12,additional exercise (moderate) and age 9-12,additional exercise (strenuous) and age 9-12 (6 levels)
E) Factor: Normal exercise,additional exercise (moderate) ,additional exercise (strenuous) (3 levels)
Exercise Routine
A specific set of physical activities or exercises, planned and performed regularly, for the purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness.
Hyperactive Children
Children who display an unusually high level of activity and/or difficulty maintaining attention beyond what is considered typical for their age.
Age Groups
Categories of people defined by age, often used in studies, surveys, and marketing to segment populations.
- Determine the elements of an experiment, such as factors, levels, and treatments.
- Identify and explain the function of blocking variables within the context of experimental design.
