You want to determine if pairing an incoming freshman with a sophomore in a mentor–mentee relationship will enhance the freshman’s overall grade. You recruit sophomores who are willing to mentor students in their majors for their first terms. You then recruit freshmen who are interested in having mentors. Freshmen who apply to this program will be sequentially assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 will be the control group (no mentor), Group 2 will be the in-person mentor group, and Group 3 will be the e-mentor group. Those in the in-person mentor group are to meet in person once a week at a time of their choosing, and those in the e-mentor group will communicate digitally at least once a week. All freshmen, in each group, agree to submit their transcripts at the conclusion of the term.

Data set: Ch 06 – Exercise 02A.sav Codebook Variable: group Definition: Mentor group assignment Type: Categorical (1 = No mentor, 2 = In-person mentor, 3 = E-mentor) Variable: grade Definition: Student’s overall grade Type: Continuous (0–100)

1. Write the hypotheses.
2. Run each criterion of the pretest checklist (normality, homogeneity of variance, and n) and discuss your findings.
3. Run the ANOVA test and document your findings (ns, means, and significance [p value], hypothesis resolution).
4. Write an abstract up to 200 words detailing a summary of the study, the ANOVA test results, hypothesis resolution, and implications of your findings.
