a) Explain why the above is a good experimental designAn experimental design refers to analysing primary data in order to investigate the casualrelationship between two variables. In this the variables are used as measure. Here, some variables arekept constant while others are been measured as subject of experiment. There are different types ofexperimental design which is used according to study (Hartas, 2015). It includes pre, quasi and trueexperimental design. In each type there is change in values and relationship which is defined. Moreover,variables defined are different and then experiment is done. So, it depends on scholar that which type ofdesign is appropriate for study. From the above research, the scholar wants to determine effectiveness of inquiry method inimproving reasoning of children. So, by dividing children into two groups it is easy to define relationship.Moreover, in this study firstly pre test is conducted and then after 4 weeks post test is conducted. Hence,it analyse results on both control and experimental groups. With this, it will be easy for researcher todefine effectiveness of enquiry method in primary school children. Here, student and primary school arekept constant and experiment is done on two groups that are defined. b) State TWO (2) null hypotheses for the studyThe null hypothesis states that there is no significant relationship between two variables as P valueis less than 0.05. Besides this, there is no variation between single variable and its mean value. If nullhypothesis is rejected, it means alternative is accepted and vice versa. The two null hypothesis are asbelow :- H0- There is no statistical significant difference in the mean value of pre and post test with regards toexperimental groupH0-: There is no statistical significant difference in the mean value of pre and post test with regards tocontrol group1
