A researcher is interested in comparing three different intact classrooms in their ability to solve mathematical word problems. We know that different classes differ on their reading ability so he plans to use a score on reading ability as a control variable.

What is the DV?

What is the IDV?

What is the Covariate?

Why is this study problematic for ANCOVA?

Solution

A) Dependent variables are Reading ability

B) Class rooms are independent variables

C)Score is covariate

D)this is problematic to anacova because here we have to compare reading ability on the basis of covariation that is score
