q2 i? Post-test pass proportions were 88.24% in the experimental group versus 40% in the control group, a difference Fisher's Exact Test found very statistically significant (p = 0.008, two-tailed). → Lina S. Calucag 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Validation analysis classifying post-test scores as pass (transmuted grade of 50% or better) or fail; Fisher's Exact Probability Test on the 2x2 table gave a two-tailed P value of 0.008, with 40% passing in the control group and 88.24% in the experimental group.

"It can be gleaned from the above table, that the proportion o f passers in College Algebra is higher for students in the experimental group than the control group. The Fish er’s Exact Test yielded significantly different pro portions post-test scores (p < 0.05, two-tailed)."
