4. Because the school board's primary concern is whether or not the experimental curriculum led to better standardized test scores, your next step is to conduct a simple analysis comparing test scores from schools with the old curriculum with the test scores from schools with the new/experimental curriculum.
a) Conduct an ANOVA to evaluate whether or not there is a significant difference in test scores between schools with the old curriculum and schools with the new curriculum.
5. The board member who originally wanted you to include only low income households in the survey is still concerned about the particular effect of the experimental curriculum on schools in low income neighborhoods. To find the answer to this, you need to run a multiple regression model.
a) Create a dummy variable for the experimental curriculum and an interaction variable that interacts with the experimental dummy and the income variable.
b) Estimate a multiple regression model that includes the curriculum dummy, income, and interaction variable as independent variables.
c) Calculate predicted values for the chgtestscores variable for both the new and old curriculum for income levels of $15,000, $30,000, $60,000, and $120,000.
d) Summarize and interpret the results of this model. What do you tell the board member about the effect of the new curriculum across different income levels?
