Subclaims¶

q2 i? Students in the cartoon condition rated their liking of the lessons higher (mean 8.3, SD 2.4) than the bibliotherapy group (mean 7.0, SD 3.5) on a 10-point scale, a difference significant only at alpha = 0.10 (p = 0.08). → Zousel 2013

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Student ratings of instructional condition were tabulated with means and standard deviations for the same 46-student two-condition experiment. The cartoon group's mean rating of 8.3 exceeded the control group's 7.0, but the t-test reached significance only at the alpha = 0.10 level (p = 0.08).

"Students in the control group responded with an average rating of 7.0 (Standard deviation = 3.5) out of 10, while students in the experimental group rated the lessons as 8.3 (s. d. = 2.4) out of 10. A t -test showed that the experimental group’s higher rating was statistically significant only at the alpha = 0.10 level ( p = 0.08)."
