Question

A high school math teacher was interested in the effect of her teaching program in Grade Ten on the performance of her students. For this reason, ten students (5 males and 5 females) from this class were given a math test in the first week of the semester and their scores were recorded. Subsequently, the students were given an equivalent test during the last week of the semester. She (the teacher) now wants to know whether the students' math scores have increased. She also likes to conduct a detailed study on this aspect of students' performance.

Q. Multivariate techniques can be used in this study to determine the significance of any change in math scores among all students - true or false.

Explanation / Answer

False.

Multivariate analysis allows us to analyse effect of one or more independent variables on two or more dependent variables. However, there is only one independent variable(teaching program) and one dependent vairable(scores).
