q2 · i? · causal · r1

Two-tailed paired samples t test comparing quiz I and quiz II means. Experimental class: M=53.64 to M=84.48, t(32)=-12.814, p<0.001. Control class also improved significantly (M=59.19 to M=84, t(31)=-12.584, p<0.001).

"For research subjects from the experimental class, who received the Probability Approach lecture, there was a significant difference in the mean scores from the first conditional quiz (M=53.64, SD=13.9) and those from the second conditional quiz (M=84.48, SD= 6.4); t(32)=-12.814, p<0.001"
