A researcher wanted to see the effects of different learning strategies. A control group simply read the book Discovering Statistics (Book), a second group read the book and completed the ‘end of chapter exercises’ (Book & Exercises), and a third group read the book, did the end of chapter exercises and also completed the web materials (All Activities). The researcher predicted that the ‘all activities’ and ‘book and exercises’ groups would perform better than the book group on a subsequent test, but that the ‘book and exercises’ group would perform worse than the ‘all activities’ group. Which coding scheme would test these hypotheses in a set of planned comparisons? (Hint: The sum of weights for a comparison should be zero. If you add up the weights for a given

contrast the result should be zero.)
