This assignment is worth a total of 75 points. Content: point values vary but are indicated in the template and total 50 points (pts). Format: point values vary but are indicated in the template for 22 pts. The remaining 3 pts are for placing answers in the correctly designated spots within the template in a clear and easy to read format and uploading it in an approved format (word or PDF). Thus, the maximum is 25 points for format. Research Scenario #1 (Q1-6: 20 pts content / 9 pts format): Research is inconclusive as to whether spatial skills differ by one’s biological sex. According to some research, males have better spatial skills than do females; and according to other research, females have better reading skills than males. A student is interested in whether there are sex differences when completing a word-search puzzle (a puzzle in which words are hidden vertically, horizontally, and diagonally within an array of letters). Given this type of puzzle involves both spatial and reading skills, the researcher does not have a specific prediction. A sample of males and females volunteer to participate and are given 10 minutes to work on a 50-word puzzle. The number of words correctly recognized is recorded for each subject, and the resulting data are shown in the table.
