Two teaching methods and their effects on science test scores are being reviewed. A random sample of 17 students, taught in traditional lab sessions, had a mean test score of 72.9 with a standard deviation of 6.2. A random sample of 13 students, taught using interactive simulation software, had a mean test score of 83.7 with a standard deviation of 5.3. Required:
Do these results support the claim that the mean science test score is lower for students taught in traditional lab sessions than it is for students taught using interactive simulation software?
