A researcher in the field of educational psychology is interested in the effects an open classroom has on intellectual development. In the open classroom things are much less structured than in a traditional classroom and she believes that this might affect problem-solving skills. An elementary school in her district switched to an open classroom format last year, and she is interested to see how this has impacted on the kids problem-solving skills. She obtains a random sample of 49 fourth grade children and administers a conceptual problem-solving test to them. It is known that fourth graders in traditional classes have an average score of 82 on the test. The children in this study score an average of 86 with a standard deviation of 5. Use this information to answer the following five questions. If the critical value for this example was 2.423, what would you conclude about the study?   Select one: a. Retain the null hypothesis and claim that open classrooms affect problem-solving skills.  b. There wasn't enough statistical power for you to find an effect.  c. Reject the null hypothesis and claim that open classrooms affect problem-solving skills.
