q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent samples t-test on SCAT administered as a retention test three weeks after the post-test to the same 24 experimental and 20 control students; the article reports a 10.8-point mean difference that is not statistically significant (t42=1.942; p>.05).

"it is revealed that there is difference (10.8) between the mean scores of the experimental (77.86) and control groups (67.06); however, this difference is not statistically significant (t42=1.942; p>.05)."
