Does taking notes by hand improve performance? To explore this, five volunteers (Mary, Josh, Adam, Doug, and Lisa) agree to take part in an experiment. Three (Mary, Doug, Josh) were randomly to take handwritten notes in class, and the other two (Lisa, Adam) are assigned to take notes on their laptops. Total points earned on the two midterms and final exam are used to determine course performance. The table below is the difference in median points of two groups (median number of points for the handwritten notes group minus median number of points for the laptop notes group) for all possible treatments: Treatment Group Control Group Difference in Median Points Mary, Doug, Josh Lisa, Adam 85 Mary, Doug, Lisa Josh, Adam 10 Mary, Doug, Adam Josh, Lisa -135 Mary, Lisa, Josh Doug, Adam 125 Mary, Adam, Josh Doug, Lisa 60 Mary, Lisa, Adam Doug, Josh 15 Doug, Josh, Lisa Mary, Adam 55 Doug, Josh, Adam Mary, Lisa -90 Doug, Lisa, Adam Mary, Josh -145 Josh, Lisa, Adam Mary, Doug 30 Suppose there is no difference in the effect of the treatments on total points earned. A randomization test was conducted. Compute the p-value of this test. O.2 O.05 O.111 O.1
