q3 · i? · causal · r2

Pre-test analysis of the 60 selected learners (30 per group, selected from 140 as within one SD of the mean of 32.18, SD 2.12): group means were 8.17 and 8.20, and the t-test showed "no significant difference in grammar knowledge".

"the p-value was more than .05(.860), and the t-observed .177 was less than the t-critical, 2.04. Therefore, the participants were homogeneous and there was no significant difference in grammar knowledge between the control and the experimental groups on the pretest"
