This exercise requires you to use an electronic spreadsheet, such as Microsoft's Excel, to compute information about a data set. The data set is shown in Table 1 below. There are three groups in the complete data set:

Group 1 Learning via the Lecture method of instruction
Group 2 Learning via the Cooperative method of instruction
Group 3 Learning via Computer-based instruction

The scores in each group are the final examination scores of students in the three groups. The scores represent overall knowledge learned under each method of instruction. The higher the score, the more knowledge learned. The Independent and Dependent variables are:

Independent variable - the method of instruction at three levels: Lecture, Cooperative, and Computer.
Dependent variable - the final examination score.
