问题

There is a single choice question about high school statistics. Answer the question by replying A, B, C or D.
Question: A reading specialist in a large public school system believes that the more time students spend reading, the better they will do in school. She plans a middle school experiment in which an SRS of 30 eighth graders will be assigned four extra hours of reading per week, an SRS of 30 seventh graders will be assigned two extra hours of reading per week, and an SRS of 30 sixth graders with no extra assigned reading will be a control group. After one school year, the mean GPAs from each group will be compared. Is this a good experimental design?
A. Yes.
B. No, because while this design may point out an association between reading and GPA, it cannot establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
C. No, because without blinding, there is a strong chance of a placebo effect.
D. No, because grade level is a lurking variable which may well be confounded with the variables under consideration.

deepseekr1

The experimental design confounds grade level with the treatment (extra reading hours), making it impossible to isolate the effect of reading time from inherent differences between sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Since each treatment group is assigned to a different grade, grade-level factors (e.g., academic rigor, maturity) could influence GPA independently of the intervention. This introduces **grade level as a lurking variable**, invalidating causal conclusions. While other options touch on valid concerns (e.g., association vs. causation in B), the primary flaw is the confounding of variables.

**Answer: D**

D. No, because grade level is a lurking variable which may well be confounded with the variables under consideration.

D

In this design, the grade level is likely to be a confounding variable as it is systematically different among the groups and may independently affect GPA, making it difficult to isolate the true effect of the different amounts of reading time on GPA.

minimax

B. No, because while this design may point out an association between reading and GPA, it cannot establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

The reason for choosing D is that the experiment involves different grades (sixth, seventh, and eighth graders), and grade level could influence the results in ways that are not accounted for by the amount of extra reading time. For example, students in higher grades might naturally have higher GPAs or might be more motivated to do well in school, regardless of the extra reading time.

In this experimental design, the different grades (sixth, seventh, and eighth graders) are assigned different amounts of extra reading time. This introduces grade level as a potential confounding variable, which could affect the GPA independently of the amount of reading time.
